	Scotch whisky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scotch whisky is divided into four distinct categories: single malt, vatted malt (also called "pure malt"), blended, and single grain.
		Grain whisky may contain unmalted barley or other malted or unmalted grains such as wheat and maize (corn) and is typically distilled in a continuous column still, known as a Patent or Coffey still, the latter after Aeneas Coffey who refined the column still in 1831.
		Whisky does not mature once bottled, so the age is the difference between these two dates; if both dates are not shown the age cannot be known from the bottle alone.

	Making Scotch whisky
		For a drink capable of such complex flavours, it's surprising to realise that Scotch whisky is made from only three ingredients: malted barley, water and yeast.
		This is why it's fair to say that a fourth ingredient in malt whisky is time - the time it takes to turn the clear, raw distillate into the smooth, golden drams we all enjoy.
		Grain whisky is produced by a Coffey or Patent Still and uses wheat, maize or other cereals, rather than barley, in its production processes.
