Best Answer

Scotch whiskey is sooo good because.

It creates flavor from various different parts of its production...

The grain used to distil - either Wheat/Malted Barley (Single Malt)

Whether the grains have been dried using a 'peat' fire - gives the smokiness flovor

The distillation process - Column (grain whiskey) / pot still (single malt)

The casks used to age the whiskey -

  • European oak - Fruitcake, chocolate, honey, sulphur, tannins
  • American oak - Vanila, grassiness, oakiness, toffee

65% of the flavor of whiskey comes from the wooden casks.

American Bourbon whiskey is constrained to using only brand new charred American oak barrels. So the amount of flavor variation between brands is not so aparent as with Scotch.

That's why Scotch is so varied and wonderful!
