Ultimate Blended Scotch Whisky Shopping Guide

May 16, 2025

While the classic debate of single malt versus blended Scotch whisky often takes center stage, there’s more depth to blended Scotch whisky than many realize. It actually falls into three distinct sub-categories: blended malt, which combines two or more single malts; blended grain, a mix of two or more single grains; and blended Scotch whisky, which includes at least one single malt and one single grain. If you’ve always viewed single malt as the superior choice, you might be surprised to learn that these blended categories make up the vast majority of Scotch whisky exports. If you’re ready to dive deeper, this ultimate blended Scotch whisky shopping guide is the place to start. Remember to add your favorites to your Distiller lists!
