the view to the isle of Jura



What has German beer and malt whisky in common? Right – the ingredients and the preparation. Up to certain level. Or did you ever taste distilled German beer??


water


Clear spring water, flowing through rock and sand, heath and peat.


barley


If it is single malt whisky – which this site is all about – the only grain to be used is barley.


yeast


Fermentation needs yeast – and every distillery has its own recipe on the blend of brewery yeasts and distiller´s yeasts.

peat


The peat colours the water, which flows through it. And the peat in the kiln leaves traces, which contribute to the very special character of many malt whiskies.
