Confused by all the small print on whisky labels?

If you are looking for a malt whisky related brand that isn't listed on this
page, you can use the Google screen at the left. If we ever wrote something
about the brand (or about another phrase in the whisky world for that matter) on
Malt Madness or Malt Maniacs you should be able to find the relevant page on MM this way.
If you don't receive any meaningful results from your Google search, chances are that the brand you're
looking for isn't actually a single malt whisky at all - but most likely a blended whisky. You can find out more about the
different types of Scotch whisky (blends, grains, etc.) in the Beginner's Guide - I'll focus on single malt Scotch whisky here.

So, if you see a bottle of 'Aberlour' single malt whisky you probably know it was distilled at the Aberlour distillery.
What does that tell you? Quite a lot, actually - if you've tried some earlier 'batches' or other expressions from this
distillery and/or if you know a little bit about how this particular malt whisky was produced. For example, some
distilleries use peated barley which gives the malt whisky a characteristic phenolic character. The type(s) of casks
that were used for maturation also play a significant role; most malt whiskies are aged in ex-bourbon casks from
the USA, but sometimes ex-sherry casks from Europe are used - or even more exotic casks that used to
contain wine, madeira, port or rum. Once again I'd like to point you to the Beginner's Guide elsewhere on
the Malt Madness site for more information about maturation. There usually is a lot of other information
on the label as well. For example, it tells you which expression it is. In the 1990's many distilleries only
released one or two 'standard' expressions of their malt whisky. Those expressions are often identified
by an age statement but some distilleries pick a more romantic name - for example Aberlour's A'bunadh.
Distillers that manage to avoid putting an age statement on the label of their whisky have much more
possibilities to tweak the 'recipe' for an expression too - they can always add young (= cheaper) malts.

That is no reason for despair though - dozens of independent bottlers like Gordon & MacPhail, Adelphi and
Duncan Taylor buy casks of whisky to bottle them under their own label. The actual name of the distillery is
usually revealed, but sometimes independent bottlers use fantastical names like 'Lochindaal', 'Ben Wyvis',
'Tactical', 'Stronachie' or 'Ballindalloch' when they can't or won't disclose the exact origins of the malt whisky
inside the bottle. Among the malt maniacs we call these 'bastard bottlings'. Complex enough for you yet?
But wait, there's much more...  Sometimes a distillery releases different malts under different names. 

The Edradour distillery also produces the more heavily peated 'Ballechin' whisky, for example.
The Bruichladdich distillery on Islay even has 3 different brands; Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore.
Buyers should also be wary of vatted malts - blends of different single malts that are tarted up like genuine single malts. These 'vatted malts' are a different category of whiskies altogether, just like (for example) grain whisky or Irish whiskey. The Beginner's Guide offers more information about the 'technical' differences between different types of whisky. Feel free to check out the Deviant Drams section for my personal opinion on other types of whisky (like blends and grain whiskies) and whiskies that were produced in other countries than Scotland - like Ireland, Japan, the USA, Canada, France or India.

If an age statement is provided, Scottish law requires that statement to identify the youngest whisky in the vatting. So, if a
distillery mixes a cask of 18 years old whisky with a cask of 12 years old whisky for a bottling, that age statement must say
'12yo'. When an age statement is not provided, it generally means that it is a relatively young expression from three to
eight years old. These days, most of the big brands like Ardbeg, Balvenie or Bowmore have a fairly extensive range of OB's.
The abbreviation 'OB' means 'official bottling' - i.e. an expression that's bottled and released by the owners of the distillery.
However, not all distilleries in Scotland actually market a range of their own 'official' bottlings - like Kininvie for example.

In the list on this page you can find a list of the various 'brands' that can be found in the malt whisky world; the names of
the various distilleries (and some alternative names like Port Charlotte, Octomore, Ledaig and Longrow), as well as the
names of some of the independent bottlers and the their premier 'series'. The main page of the DD section only lists a little
over a hundred malt whisky distilleries by name; this is the place to look for any unknown brand that is not listed of the
main page of this section of Malt Madness. The Lexicon on Malt Maniacs offers an overview of all 'foreign' distilleries.

The amount of data on the label of a bottle of single malt whisky can be
overwhelming - especially for relative novices in the wild whisky world.
The 'brand' name on a bottle of single malt whisky is usually the name
of the distillery where the whisky was produced. In that sense, single
malt whiskies are different from blended whiskies like Johnnie Walker
or J&B. The naming conventions for so-called 'vatted malts' (blends of
malt whiskies from various distilleries) and 'bastard malts' (single malts
that were distilled at an undisclosed distillery) are notably less strict.

The list below contains the names of all (active and recently closed) malt whisky distilleries in Scotland, as well as a
couple of alternative names and 'makes'. I've also included the names of circa three dozen independent bottlers.
