The smokiness means that Scotch whisky doesn’t mix well but there are some cocktails that use it. That comes from the peat which is used to roast the barley. But, in general, Scotch whisky very often has a smokiness that persists. The age of the whisky, the manufacturer and the batch all play a role, and there are other aspects as well. The whisky is primarily made from malted barley, although some other grains may be used as well.Īs with all spirits, the flavor varies based on many factors. It is also spelled as whisky not whiskey and must be aged for at least 3 years in an oak barrel. The most obvious difference is that Scotch whisky is made in Scotland. Plus, Scotch whisky is increasing in popularity, with many more people trying it out. Why Scotch whisky? Well first, there are so many general clubs that lists for individual styles really are needed. With this post, I’m narrowing that selection down further – to just Scotch of the month clubs. I started out with beer of the month clubs and am now experimenting with whisky of the month clubs as well like bourbon clubs. I’ve been finding that alcohol of the month clubs are a surprisingly fun way to learn more about different spirits and just expand my palate.
