Malt whiskey is distilled from malted barley and typically aged in wooden casks. The production process involves malting the barley, which activates enzymes that convert starches into fermentable sugars. After fermentation, the liquid is distilled and then aged in oak barrels, contributing to its distinct flavor profile. Additionally, malt whiskies often exhibit a complex interplay of aromas and tastes, including notes of caramel, vanilla, fruit, and peat smoke, depending on factors such as the type of barley used, distillation methods, and aging conditions. This complexity has led to a growing appreciation among connoisseurs and enthusiasts, fostering a robust market for premium and artisanal malt whiskies.
