What does the age statement on a whisky label mean?
It is the age of the youngest whisky in the bottle (Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009, reg. 12), so Glenfiddich 12 Year Old (40% ABV) and Talisker 10 Year Old (45.8% ABV) contain no whisky younger than 12 and 10 years. A bottle with no age statement, such as Talisker Skye (45.8% ABV), may hold younger whisky, though never under the legal minimum of three years in oak.
What is the difference between blended Scotch and blended malt?
Blended Scotch combines one or more single malts with one or more single grain whiskies. Blended malt, such as Monkey Shoulder (40% ABV), contains only single malts from more than one distillery, with no grain whisky (Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009, reg. 3(2)).
