Malt Riot Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

About Malt Riot Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Malt Riot is a blended malt scotch whisky inspired by the malt tax riots of 1725, when the government wanted to impose a tax on Scotland's malted barley. The Scots, foreseeing an increase in the cost of whisky, beer and other daily essentials, rose up. Glasgow saw some of the fiercest protests, with malt stores barricaded and the excise men chased from the city. The protesters even destroyed the home of the local member of parliament, who voted in favor of the tax.

Malt Riot is a blend of handpicked single malts from across Scotland with the distillery’s signature Glasgow 1770 single malt at its heart. This light and smooth whisky is bottled at 40% ABV with no age statement.

About Scotch

Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)

Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
