Scotch whisky, often simply called whisky or Scotch, is malt whisky or grain whisky (or a blend of the two) made in Scotland. It is one of the world’s most iconic and celebrated drinks.

The first known written mention of Scotch whisky is in the Exchequer Rolls of Scotland of 1494. All Scotch whisky was originally made from malted barley. Commercial distilleries began introducing whisky made from wheat and rye in the late 18th century.

As of May 2024, there were 151 whisky distilleries operating in Scotland, making Scotch whisky one of the most renowned geographical indications worldwide.

In this lecture, Kenneth Park will cast his eye over the story of whisky and Scotland.

The link for the recorded lecture will be sent on July 15th and can be viewed anytime and as many times over the following week.
