Single Malt Scotch Whiskey

Malt whisky is the ‘original’ whisky of Scotland. Although other grains were used, barley was grown specifically for making beer and whisky. However, with the success of blended whisky in the late 19th century, little was drunk as single malt outside the Highlands until the 1980s, when ‘the vintages of the North’ were rediscovered by an enthusiastic public and began to be made available by distillery owners.

Currently there are around 90 operating malt whisky distilleries in Scotland – with some of Flask's most popular brands being Ardbeg, Lagavulin, Laphroaig
