Single Grain Irish Whiskey
Single grain whisky refers to whisky produced at a single distillery using grains other than malted barley, such as corn, wheat, or rye. Unlike single malt whisky, which exclusively uses malted barley, single grain whisky offers a range of flavors and characteristics influenced by the types of grains and distillation techniques employed.
In recent years, single grain whisky has gained popularity for its distinctive qualities and versatility. Distilleries specializing in single grain whisky, like Cameronbridge and Girvan, are known for their innovative approaches to grain selection and aging processes. These whiskies vary from light and fruity to rich and complex, reflecting the creative exploration within the category. Appreciated for their smoothness and suitability in cocktails as well as for sipping neat, single grain whiskies showcase the diversity and craftsmanship within whisky production.
