Malt whiskey is a type of whiskey made from malted barley, which is a grain that has been soaked in water and allowed to germinate. The germination process releases enzymes that convert the grain's starches into sugars, which are then fermented and distilled. Malt whiskey is typically aged in oak barrels, which impart flavor and color to the whiskey. Malt whiskey is often considered to be the most traditional type of whiskey, and is often used as the base for blended whiskeys. Malt whiskey is produced in many countries around the world, including Scotland, Ireland, the United States, Canada, and Japan. It is typically enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water, and is often used in cocktails.
