A Blended Malt Whisky is a carefully concocted blend of 100% malted barley whiskies from any number of selected distilleries. The volume of production however is labelled as Blended Scotch Whisky indicating a blend including Grain Whiskies produced using either Corn (Maize), Wheat or Rye in Column Stills alongside Malt Whiskies from Pot Stills.

A popular style of Scotch Whisky is 'peated', meaning the malted barley was kilned using peat moss as a source of heat, delivering a signature smokiness that is often found in expressions of whisky from Islay and the Island regions.
