Explanation

Scotch whisky is primarily made from malted barley. By legal definition, Scotch whisky must be produced in Scotland and made primarily from malted barley (for malt Scotch) or from malted barley and other grains (for grain Scotch). The barley is malted (soaked, germinated, then dried) to convert starches into fermentable sugars.
