National Scotch Day
National Scotch Day
Pull out your favorite rock glass and have a sip of the good stuff this July 27th for National Scotch Day.
Dating back to 12th-century monasteries, the first record of Scotch whisky comes from the ledgers of a Scottish taxman in 1494. In 1933, Scotch was first protected by definition in law and gained further protection in 1988 as a result of the Scotch Whisky Act.
In order to be classified as Scotch, a whisky must firstly be made in Scotland. Other requirements include a minimum of three years of aging in oak barrels and an ABV under 94.8%. While there are no restrictions on which grains can be used, the majority of Scotch whisky is made with barley.
So be sure to raise a glass of true Scotch whisky on July 27th in celebration of this historic spirit for National Scotch Day.
