G-Town Wines Providing Blended Scotch is a type of whisky made by blending together two or more single malt whiskies with one or more grain whiskies. The resulting blend is typically smoother and less complex than a single malt whisky, and is often less expensive.
The single malt whiskies used in a blended Scotch are typically chosen to provide a specific flavor profile or style, such as a light and delicate flavor or a rich and smoky character. The grain whiskies used in the blend are often made from a combination of corn, wheat, and barley, and are typically distilled in column stills, which produce a lighter and more neutral spirit than the pot stills used to produce single malt whiskies.
To be labeled as a Scotch whisky, the whisky must be distilled in Scotland and aged in oak casks for a minimum of three years. Blended Scotch whiskies are typically aged for a period of five to ten years, although some premium blends may be aged for significantly longer.
Blended Scotch whiskies are popular around the world and are produced by a number of different distilleries, including Johnnie Walker, Chivas Regal, and Dewar's. The flavor and aroma of a blended Scotch can vary widely depending on the specific whiskies used in the blend, the proportion in which they are blended, and the length of time the whisky has been aged.
