Scotch whisky
It is now generally agreed that there are six regions and these are
based on taste as well as geographical location.
Lowlands,
Highlands,
Speyside,
Campbeltown,
Islay,
Islands.
The distillate is 75%abv, which is
diluted to 63.4%abv and stored in oak casks (average is a 250litre
hogshead). Depending on casks used, the spirit picks up color and
flavor. Casks that held bourbon, sherry and port are reused.
