Blended Scotch Whisky is a whisky that contain malt and grain whiskies from different distilleries and have usually been matured for 5 years to make the taste and quality better. It is split in a 60% grain and 40% malt. To gain an even higher quality blend whisky you would add whisky that have been aged longer, so the quality is smoother as the taste.
There are so many famous blends on the following page and all have a great part to play in Scottish Whisky history. Some of the blends that are included on these pages include one of the most famous of all called The Famous Grouse from the Edrington Group. It has a wonderful history and is probably known by near every whisky drink in the western world. Also from the Edrington goup you have Cutty Sark Blended whisky. The name Cutty Sark comes for a famous ship that was built on the River Clyde in Glasgow. Another two famous blends that are on the following pages is Whyte & Mackay and 100 Pipers Blended Scotch Whisky.
There is also a page for The Black Grouse whiskies where you can find out about the taste of the blend and the special donations they give to the RSPB with every bottle sold.
We also have a special page on the site regarding the excellent blend from Duncan Taylor. It is the Black Bull 12 year old. Black Bull contains 50% malt whisky and 50% grain whisky and is non-chill filtered.
There is just so much deepth within the Scotch Blended Industry that I could keep listing these famous name, but there are so many I could mention, but will leave it up the you to browses through the ‘A-Z’ listing below, but remember I have only used the letter that have a blended whisky within the range.
