On
Single Malt, Blended and Vatted Malt Scotch Whisky
Scotch lovers have generally been able to select from two broad categories -
the traditional blended Scotch Whiskies, or, in recent years, the more complex
single malt Scotch whiskies.
But, there is a third category. One of the treasures
of the distiller's craft that has seldom been heralded is "vatted"
malt Scotch whiskey, the foundation of the TEARS OF SCOTLAND product range.
To appreciate the difference, we must first discuss how Scotch whiskies are
made. Scotland is a country of vast differences in climate and terrain. These
differences have profound effects on
the whiskies produced.
