What is " malt whisky"?

Malt whisky is a type of whisky that is made from 100% malted barley and distilled in pot stills. It is a traditional style of whisky that is closely associated with Scotland, although it is also produced in other countries such as Ireland and Japan. Malt whisky is aged in oak casks for a minimum of three years, which gives it its distinctive flavor and aroma. It has a complex taste profile, with notes of fruit, spice, and peat smoke, and a smooth and creamy texture. Malt whisky is typically consumed neat or with a small amount of water to enhance its flavor, and is highly prized by connoisseurs for its quality and craftsmanship. It is a versatile spirit that can be enjoyed on its own as a sipping drink, or used as a key ingredient in cocktails such as the Rob Roy and the Rusty Nail.
