Whiskey Blended |
Blended whiskey is a blend of one or more whiskeys, which can themselves be made from any combination of malted and unmalted grain. Blended whiskeys are generally cheaper and more accessible than single malt or single grain whiskeys, but lack the individuality of a spirit distilled from a single base product in a single location. On the other hand, they are more malleable in terms of style, an attractive asset for distillers who need to create a consistent "house style". Although blended whiskeys are considered less exclusive than single malts and therefore less likely to fetch high prices, some of the world's best known and most expensive whiskeys are blends. The Johnnie Walker brand demonstrates this perfectly; Its Blue Label product costs hundreds of dollars a bottle, while its cheaper Red Label is one of the most widely available whiskeys in the world. |
Single Malt WhiskeyThis is arguably the finest bottling of whisky, made in a single distillery from malted barley, water and yeast. The style is made in Japan, Ireland and most notably (and famously) Scotland. Indeed, Single Malt Scotch Whiskey is a coveted collector's item and is certainly one of the most coveted and revered liquids in the world, with many specimens being treasured as much as the world's finest wines. In addition, more and more American craft producers have single malt whiskeys in their portfolio. The American Single Malt Whiskey Commission was established in 2016 and defined the category for US distilleries; As of July 2018, the commission had 100 members. At that time, however, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau had yet to officially recognize the term. |

Critic tasting note: "Magnificently powerful and intense. Caramels, dried peats, elegant cigar smoke, seeds scraped from vanilla beans, brand new pencils, peppercorn, coriander seeds, and star anise make for a deeply satisfying nosing experience. Silky caramels, bountiful fruits of ripe peach, stewed apple, orange pith, and pervasive smoke with elements of burnt tobacco. An abiding finish of smoke, dry spices, and banoffee pie sweetness. Close to perfection. Editor's Choice" - 97/100, Whisky Advocate

Critic tasting note: "Rich, layered, and packed with signature notes from the range, the nose brings forth honey, caramel, sweet apple, poached pear, smoked orange peel, and baked citrus notes. The core flavors riff between citrus, runny caramels, gingersnap, and vanilla, but there are punchy spices, pear, and nutty almond notes too. The finish encircles ginger, orange peel, and hints of chocolate.—JM" - 88/100, Whisky Advocate
