Hudson Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hello All, I am going to up front, I did not do a through search. This may have been asked before. If one makes a Malt Whiskey, does it necessarily mean it is 100% malt or can it be something like 51% malt and 49% barley? Cheers, Hudson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatch Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 MALT WHISKY³ Whisky produced at not exceeding 80% alcohol by volume (160 proof) from a fermented mash of not less than 51 percent malted barley and stored at not more than 62.5% alcohol by volume (125 proof) in charred new oak containers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestar Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 But if you want to use a phrase like "single malt whiskey", then, even though it is not a standard US type, since it would be assumed it has a similar meaning by the consumer as used elsewhere (like Scotland), it would have to be 100% malted barley and from a single distillery.
