malt whiskies

Barley-based Scottish liquors

Malt whiskies is the plural of malt whisky—whisky made entirely from malted barley rather than a grain mixture.

The term distinguishes single malts (from one distillery) from blended whiskies.

Scottish and Irish traditions favor the spelling whisky and whiskey respectively: He collected rare malt whiskies from Highland distilleries.
