What are the different types of whisky. What is the difference between a single malt and a blend and a blended malt. In this episode of Whisky U Charlie MacLean makes it all very clear.
@k4tharsis yeah that's true, also it can help to achieve the right alcohol level, right colour and mix whiskies from different ages eg. Ardbeg Uigedail is a mix of very old and very young whisky - again to keep the 'known flavour'. If a distillery has a glut of stock, they may sometimes add whisky that is older than the age stated on the label. But when sales are good this will be less likely, thus creating a difference from one generation to the next,
i've heard that the single malts are also mixed together with other malt's from some of the own casks to keep the "known" flavour. the very pure single malts coming from only one cask are called single cask's. is this correct or am i wrong?
