What is Scotch Whiskey Market?
Scotch whisky was originally made from malted barley. Scotch whisky is made in Scotland from cereals, yeast and water only. There are two types of Scotch whisky malt whisky and grain whisky. Scotch malt whisky is fermented from malted barley and the resulting alcohol concentrated in a batch distillation in copper pot stills. Scotch grain whisky is fermented from a mash containing other non-malted cooked cereals (such as barley, wheat or maize) and a smaller proportion of malted barley. Commercial distilleries began introducing whisky made from wheat and rye. The alcoholic beverages show tremendous growth over the past few years due to changing customers' lifestyles, growing urbanizations and changing consumer preference.
