	Scotch: Single Malt Scotch
		Single malt Scotch whisky is malt whisky that is distilled entirely at a single distillery, and is not blended with grain whisky.
		Vatted malt whisky is one of the less common types of Scotch: a blend of single malts from more than one distillery and with differing ages.
		Vatted malts contain only malt whiskies—no grain whiskies—and are usually distinguished from other types of whisky by the absence of the word "single" before "malt" on the bottle, and the absence of a distillery name.

	Strat's Place - Daniel Rogov - Random Thoughts on Single Malt Scotch
		Unblended Scotch whisky has not changed but the tastes of Americans and Japanese have, and single malt whiskeys with once unknown names such as Dalwhinnie, Cragganmore, Obam, and Talisker have become household names, at least in the households of the 10% of the most upwardly mobile segments of the population.

		Single malts were (and still are) for the most part created for mixing into the blends that took the whisky world by storm at the end of the nineteenth century.
		Add to that the fact that most of the oldest Scotch distilleries extant today date back only to the early nineteenth century and you might start getting the notion that the taste tradition that we associate with today's single malts is not as Robert-the-Bruce ancient as we might have thought.
		The result of this evolution is the greatest age of single-malt Scotches, an age that is happening as we speak.

	Favorite Scotch Single Malt Whiskies (Site not responding. Last check: )

		Lowland malts tend to have a distinctive lightness and oftentimes a "toasted marshmallow" quality, and Highland malts tend to be recognized for their fruity, flowery, or sherry characteristics.
		I'll probably have a taste of these and several other whiskies, but I wanted to choose a single malt that was readily accessible, affordable (at least not outrageously expensive), and one that signified the best of what is happening in the world of whisky at the end of the century.

	The Scotch Doc Method - Tasting the Scotch Single Malt Whisky
		The cliche, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," could correspondingly be modified to apply to the Scotch single malt aficionado to state that, "taste is in the palate of the beholder." An oversimplification, certainly, but associated circumstances always influence the impressions of the beholders in either of these situations.
		For a typical bottling of eighty or eighty-six proof single malt, I begin with a tablespoonful of water in an ounce-and-a-half of single malt.
		As you can now begin to understand, the Scotch single malt is meant to be "experienced," not "drunk." You will get a different impression with the second taste as the initial "alcohol shock" from the first taste subsides and you adjust the quantity to the malt and water to your palate.

	On the rocks / Single-malt scotch shortage is double trouble for distillers, consumers
		But that is the problem facing many scotch distilleries, due to a lack of foresight in laying down sufficient vintages in the past, coupled with increasing demand for older single malts.

		Scotch has it's own lingo for tasting, which I avoid using because most of the words were meaningless to me at first, and still are to most of the people reading this page.
