Scotch whisky is whiskey made in Scotland and we traditionally differentiate Blended Scotch and Single Malt Scotch as the two most important styles in the category. Over the last two decades, Scottish single malts have experienced an enormous growth, as the world has discovered the great potential for flavor and character of this whiskey-making style. There are only just above 100 Scotch distilleries in Scotland, so that the study of the overall Scotch population becomes a manageable pursuit.

Any serious study of whiskey should perhaps start with the greatest whiskey of all: Single Malt Scotch. Within this category we find all the exciting and multi-dimensional flavors represented. And given the fairly small set of producers, we can discover multiple house-styles and nuances due to various bottlings that each producer offers with consistent quality over time. Scotch flavors are influenced by many different aspects that makes study worthwhile, including the type of distillation, the length of maturation, peated vs. unpeated, the grain recipe, and many other factors.

All regions of Scotland produce scotch and they can be organized by more or less subtle flavor differences that are typical for each region. Most notorious of all, the island of Islay makes an extremely distinctive style of Scotch, usually featuring a heavy peat character that makes these Scotches famous and unique around the world. But the other main regions offer stylistic differences among them. Notable regions include Campbeltown, Speyside, the Lowlands as well as of course the Highlands.

Our whiskey experts have shared their knowledge and passion for Scotch, Bourbon and other fine global whiskeys at hundreds of special tasting parties, corporate team building events and off-site meetings, private presentations, courses and seminars.
