Grain whisky is any type of whisky made in Scotland that is solely produced from grains other than malted barley, and distilled in a column still. Grain whiskies are a cousin to Single Malt whiskies and are an important part of what makes Scotch Blended whisky so special - they are in some regards the glue the ties the malts together in a blend. These whiskies are made in column stills, operating in continuous production as opposed to the smaller 'batch' method used for single malt.  In Scotland there are four grain distilleries and compared to single malt whiskies, they are not readily available as a brand.

These are fascinating whiskies to try, uniquely different to other whiskies, and at the present time they offer extremely good value for money their age compared to single malts.
