Malt Whiskey. Malt whiskey is an alcohoHc distiUate made from a fermented wort derived from malted barley only and distiUed in pot stiUs. It is the second fraction (heart of the mn) of the distiUation process. 

The grain whiskeys used in Scotch blends are produced using com, rye, and barley malt and are distilled using a continuous multicolumn stiU at 180—186° proof (90—93%). Grain whiskeys are aged in used oak barrels of 190 Hter capacities. The used barrels are often purchased in the United States from bourbon distilleries.

PROP Light yellow-amber liquid. Pleasant to fruity odor. D 0.923-0.935 15.56° 47-53% of ethanol, by volume, flash p 80.0°F (CC). Made by distillation of fermented malted grains, e.g., corn, rye, or barley. After distillation, whiskey is aged in wooden containers for up to several years. The aging extracts such components as acids and esters from the wood and promotes oxidation of components of raw whiskey and some reactions between organic components to form new flavors. 

Made from barley malt and having a smoky taste, obtained by using peat instead of coal as fuel in the kiln drying of the malt. Changes in the variety of peat used materially affect the flavor. This includes scotch whiskeys commonly classified in the British Isles as follows (1) Highland malts, (2) Lowland malts, (3) Campbell towns, (4) Islays.

Whiskey, depending on the kind, is made by different processes. The raw material for Scotch single malt whiskey is barley malt which has been exposed to peat moss or coal smoke during kiln drying. Such smoked malt is mashed at 60 °C and filtered. The resulting wort is then fermented at 20-32 °C after the addition of yeast (Saccha-romyces cerevisiae). Irish whiskey is never made from smoked malt. The distillation is conducted in two steps, sometimes in simple pot stills. The harsh, raw liquor is collected in the first distillation step. The undesirable harsh components are removed in the head and tail fractions in the second distillation. 

The important question about an alcoholic drink is How much ethanol does it contain A pint of strong beer contains twice as much ethanol as a pint of ordinary beer, for example. Like beer, whiskey is made from barley. But it is more alcoholic because it is distilled after fermentation, which makes the ethanol more concentrated.
