single malt whiskies

Distillery-specific Scotch varieties

Single malt whiskies is the plural of single malt whisky—whisky made from malted barley at a single distillery.

The "single" refers to the distillery, not the barrel or batch.

Single malts are distinguished from blended whiskies, which combine products from multiple distilleries.

Scottish and Japanese versions spell it whisky; Irish and American typically use whiskey: She collects rare single malt whiskies from Islay.
