Scotch Whisky is a distilled alcoholic beverage produced in Scotland. Its taste is renowned for its complexity, which varies significantly depending on the region of production and the ageing process. The origin of Scotch Whisky production dates back to at least the 15th century, with early records indicating distillation by monks. Over time, the process evolved, and regulations were established to ensure quality and authenticity.
