Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the product of one specific distillery. Each region has its own distinctive style and it is usually possible to distinguish in which region of Scotland a particular whisky was made. Scottish regulations require single malts to be distilled in pot stills and, by law, all whisky must be aged for a minimum of three years in oak casks, though many single malts are matured for much longer.
In recent years there has been a renaissance in malt whisky and avid collectors seek out the oldest and rarest whiskies in the market.
