I barely know the person who called whisky sunlight held together by water. However, I do know that if whisky is not the curative, there's no curative at all. What is it about this liquid sunshine that commands such a premium? You argue with a scotch aficionado, and he'll end up calling it an animate thing with an identity resplendent and a life independent. What's even more fascinating is how well have some single malt scotch names been able to hypnotize world masses with their processing and taste. Even though there are a myriad varieties of preparing drinks with a number of scotch whisky brands today (it amuses me how every single bar-tender today knows how to make at least one unique drink to impress his guests), single malt scotch whisky has a flavor of its own, perfectly complementing the mood when consumed on the rocks. So, whether you are as loyal as a girlfriend to single malt scotch (did I just sound chauvinistic?), or just tumbled upon this page to impress your girlfriend with your liquor know-how (I must get over girlfriends!), the list of scotch brands featured below definitely gives you something to talk about. So, let's raise a toast to your wife and your girlfriend (Brr, for the last time, I promise), and let's pray that they never meet! Single Malt Scotch: Brands of the Scottish Aqua-Vitae There's a thing about this whiskey type. It's hundred percent malted barley, and doesn't contain whisky content from any other distillery. Perhaps, in some way, this makes it neat to drink (pun intended!). Needless to say, the best single malt scotches hail from Scotland, and are definitely more than just alcoholic appurtenance of civilization and socialization. The prominence of a single grain distillation kicks the brand ratings up a notch, truly defining the aqua of life. Enlisted below are names of all the best single malt scotches, in alphabetical order. Pick up your favorites, and gulp in the ones you never tasted before. Take a look.

Including more or less every great scotch brand, I think, the above featured list has all the names that are regarded as the crème de la crème. I'm pretty sure I might have missed a few brands of scotch, and so, I plead to you to scorn out the curves. You know, right with the very first sniff, the intense aroma of scotch pulls you inwards. When you dip your nose into it, you succumb to its strong aroma. Truly, there's something about single malt scotch that makes it superlative. It must be the magical smash of whisky and water ending up in creating a sunshine-like hue, don't you think so?
