I loved. The truth is that I went with the idea that I am not very whiskey, but I had not tried the real Scotch. It turns out that the most sold here in Spain (Chivas Regal, Johny Walker, etc.) are what they call "blended", that is, they are a mixture of grains and maturation in different types of barrels. The true Scotch whiskey is what they call "single malt" which is mainly germinated barley and then dried at high temperatures. Some whiskeys even smoke the malt to give it another flavor point. After the distillation, the whiskey is aged mainly in oak barrels bought in the USA previously used for bourbon or in Spain those used for sherry. The visit to the Glenmorangie distillery was the best of all we visited and his whiskey, even the 10 year old which is the basic, is a delight that goes down smooth and delicious It is very worth the visit.
