Blended Scotch Whisky
Under the Scotch whisky regulations: ““Blended Malt Scotch Whisky” means a blend of two or more Single Malt Scotch Whiskies that have been distilled at more than one distillery; “Blended Grain Scotch Whisky” means a blend of two or more Single Grain Scotch Whiskies that have been distilled at more than one distillery; and “Blended Scotch Whisky” means a blend of one or more Single Malt Scotch Whiskies with one or more Single Grain Scotch Whiskies. The regulations also allow the addition of caramel colour, regardless of whether the final product is labelled as blended or not. A mix of single malts only, without other types of whisky such as those made from grains other than malted barley, may be called a blended malt/vatted malt (a term no longer permitted).
Blended Scotch whisky outsells single malts at a rate of 9 to 1. Shop rare Chivas to limited edition Johnnie Walker and many more at The Whisky Company.
