The ingredients of whisky are unique to Scotland itself: Fields of golden barley, an abundance of clear pure water and rich and thick earthy peat cut from the moors.
There are two types of whisky: single malt and grain, the latter being faster and cheaper to produce. Most of the popular brands are blends of both types of whisky. Most of the single malt produced is used to flavour the blended brands, such as Bells, Teachers, Famous Grouse, etc.
Single malts are a different matter altogether. Each is distinctively different with the finer nuances of flavour and aroma deriving from the peat used for drying, the type of oak casks used for maturing and the water used for mashing.
