Blended Scotch Whisky

Blended Scotch Whisky is a blend of one or more Single Malt Scotch Whiskies with one or more Single Grain Scotch Whiskies. The Regulations also define Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (single malts from more than one distillery) and Blended Grain Scotch Whisky (single grains from more than one distillery). The Scotch Whisky Association calls grain whisky "the heart" of Blended Scotch: grain distilleries run continuously and use malted barley with other, unmalted cereals.

Blends depend on the continuous still. Whether its spirit was whisky at all was settled in favour of the blenders by the Royal Commission of 1909.
