Scotch?

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

Scotch?

Post by mikeac »

Well I'm not in Scotland, but Scotch (I like Glenfidich?) is what I'm aiming for. Unfortunately, this seems like a big step up from rum. I've done a little reading and this and may need a little help. So I'll start with terms:
Single Malt whiskey: whiskey made from only one type of malt? Does this normally refer to barley?
Blended whiskey:I'm guessing a mix of grain, like an Irish whiskey?
Malt: Sprouted grain, therefore containing enzymes which break starches into sugars. Is all the starch in malt converted to sugar or does it still have a high starch content?

Cheers
