Scotch whisky may be called a distillate that was produced in a Scottish distillery, has an alcohol content of at least 40 per cent by volume, has matured for at least three years in oak casks under customs seal in Scotland and is particularly popular as a single malt or blended whisky. Scotch whisky is currently distilled in 99 Scottish distilleries (as at the end of 2009) in various whisky regions. The distilleries and thus the Scotch whiskies produced there are categorised into different regions, the best known of which are certainly Speyside, Islay, the Highlands, the Hebridean Islands and the Lowlands.
Depending on the distillery, a whisky has reached the optimum balance between distillery character and the influence of maturation after a varying number of years. For the majority of brandies, this time is between 12 and 15 years. Very old whiskies are often particularly round, smooth and full-bodied and display a special complexity, even if the cask flavour increasingly dominates and the choice of cask material and origin determines the quality. In the meantime, the available stocks of old bottlings have decreased significantly and some are no longer available at all.
