Scottish whisky can be categorized as malt whisky, grain whisky, and blended whisky. Malt whisky and grain whisky are completely made from grain, with the same raw material fermented in the distilling furnace; malt whisky usually takes the malts of the barley that has germinated as its raw material; grain whisky’s main raw materials include barley, wheat and rye. Over the past 50 years, some breweries have also used corn as their new raw material, and combine it with other materials into the distilling furnace.
