Think of a single malt as a solo artist. A pure, unapologetic voice from one distillery. Think of a blended Scotch as a band. Many players, one killer song.

Here’s the first punch: A single malt must come from one distillery. And it must be made from 100% malted barley. Nothing else. That’s the rule.
