Understanding a Scotch Label
To grasp the understanding of a scotch label takes the
ability to understand many things. National laws, marketing, tradition, as well
as whim are placed on the label of this fine product. This simple guide can get
you through the confusion of what’s inside the bottle.
If you are looking for a true scotch whisky then the
label should say exactly that, if the spelling is different, than that it is
not made in Scotland rather it is made elsewhere. Look for the words single malt
they can be broken up yet they will say single malt if that is what it is. The
only way to identify a true single malt whisky is to do research, never take
the name as it’s word on quality; many names have been forged to hide the
identity of the true distiller.
If the alcohol content per volume reads more than
fifty percent then it would be best to water down this malt as it is rated by
cask strength and will be stronger please do not mistake percentage with proof.
And finally
check the date of bottling it does not age once bottled.
