Malt Whisky
The Laichmoray Hotel lies at the very heart of the Scotch Whisky Industry, at the gateway to the Malt Whisky Trail and within 50 miles there are more than 40 distilleries (half of all the distilleries in Scotland). Distilling is one of Scotland's most important export industries and, recognising it's importance, the Laichmoray Hotel in Elgin devotes "The Scotch Corner Lounge" to Scotland's "uisge beatha" or "Water of Life".
Whether your interest is academic or purely recreational your visit to the home of Malt Scotch Whisky will only be complete having stayed at Elgin's Premier Hotel, the Laichmoray where you have a comprehensive selection of over 160 malt whiskies to test your palate, and your stamina!
What is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky?
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is malt whisky which has been produced in only one distillery. In order to be labelled a "Malt" the spirit must be made purely from malted barley. Even if a whisky contains the smallest amount of grain whisky, it is classed as a blended whisky. In order to be a "Scotch Whisky" the spirit must have matured in an oak cask in Scotland for a minimum of three years. It must also have been bottled at a minimum strength of 40% alcohol by volume, although the bottling need not necessarily take place in Scotland.
