Blended / Vatted Malt

A blended malt, formerly called a vatted malt, or pure malt, is a blend of different single malt whiskies from different distilleries, as opposed to single malt whisky, which is the blending of different casks or batches from the same distillery. Blended malts are typically soft textured, delicious, flavourful whiskies with broad appeal. Johnnie Walker Green has long been a benchmark, but you'll find a good cross-section of styles represented here, many of which we taste and rate to further guide your purchase.

Blended Single Malts take complexity to the next level.

Blending whisky, (which in no sense equates to dilution), is a considerable art acquired only after years of experience. Because every distillery's Single Malt whisky has a character of its own and, just as people of different temperaments are often incompatible, so some whiskies will not happily marry. Blended malts contain two or more malt whiskies (usually up to a maximum of six) from two or more different distilleries. 'Vatted Malts' (now officially known as 'blended malts') are being marketed with some rather quirky labels, but in the hands of a master blender, the results can be as exciting as any great Single Malt - indeed, the whiskies potentially encompass the entire flavour spectrum taking complexity to the next level.
