About Bottle of Scotch

Bottle of Scotch is an independent educational website about Scotch whisky. It combines practical calculators with sourced explanations of production, maturation, geography, terminology and tasting.

How information is handled

Legal and industry facts are checked against authoritative sources such as UK government material and the Scotch Whisky Association. Product-specific facts should be checked against producer documentation before publication. The site does not claim to employ whisky experts or a tasting panel, and it does not invent first-hand tasting experience.

How flavour language is used

Tasting descriptors describe perception rather than chemical guarantees. A reference to citrus, smoke, vanilla or dried fruit does not mean those ingredients were added. Product descriptions should distinguish producer-stated information from broader educational interpretation.

Corrections

Whisky specifications, distillery status and producer information can change. If you identify an error or have a primary source that improves a page, use the contact page and include the relevant source.
