A Vatted Malt is a blend of different
single malt whiskies from different distilleries. Vatted malts do not contain any
grain whisky, unlike products labelled as "
Blended Whisky".The term "vatting" is used to describe the blending process—and does not automatically equate to a vatted malt.Vatted malts or pure malts are to be reclassified as
blended malts as part of a process to standardise Scotch whisky descriptors set out by The Scotch Whisky Association, which represents the majority of Scotch whisky distillers in the industry.
