How do you describe scotch?

There are five categories as defined late 2009 by the Scottish Whisky Association- 1)Single Malt 2)Blended Malt 3)Single grain 4)Blended grain 5)Blended whiskey Single malt is made from only malted barley, yeast and water and is distilled in copper pot stills, aged a minimum of 3 years. It can only come from 1 distillery in Scotland. Blended malt (or vatted malt) - is made in the same way as single malt but it can be blended together using single malt whiskey from any distillery in Scotland. Single grain whiskey - is made from wheat instead of barley and is distilled at higher volume in modern stainless steel column stills. It must be aged for a minumum 3 years in oak barrels and can only come from 1 grain distillery. Blended grain whiskey - is made in the same way as single grain but can be blended using grain whiskey from any grain distillery. Blended whiskey - can contain whiskey from any single malt and any grain distillery in Scotland. The two worth knowing about are numbers 1 and 5! NB - Blended whiskey (Grant's, Johnnie Walker, Famous Grous etc) makes up around 85% of the total volume of Scotch whiskey sold around the world.
Why many old stills are made from copper metal?
Stills can be made from aluminum, iron, glass, brass, steel even clay. Most alcohol stills that are used today are made out of either stainless steel or copper. Both are very good conductors of heat and both metals won't put any bad chemicals into your final spirit. However, copper has one important advantage over all the other metals when distilling. It has been used for so many years because copper actually reacts with alcohol on a molecular level making the final spirit taste better. Copper tends to react with sulfur, an awful smelling element that is created naturally by yeast while fermenting. When distilling the sulfer comes in contact with the copper, it binds together to make hydrogen sulfide and isobutyl mercaptans which then forms copper sulfate. The copper sulfate then will stick itself to the copper making it necessary to scrub and clean the still thoroughly after each use. This cleaning makes it all the better since its better to have the rotten egg smell going down your sink rather than ending up in the nose of your next bourbon.
