As we see it, making whisky is one of the best jobs in the world. The selection of the raw materials and the care taken in each and every step of the production process constitute a satisfaction surpassed only by the pleasure of tasting the whisky itself.
The basic attributes of the four varieties of Glen Silver’s whisky begin to be shaped with the fermentation of the wort extracted from the peat-toasted, malted barley.
The malts are aged for between 3 and 12 years and their spirits are distilled twice before being aged in traditional American white oak casks for a period of 3 to 8 years.
The blend of the varying ages of malts, with their spirits having been twice rectified, is aged again in accordance with the requirements of the Scotch Whisky Regulations for 3 and 8-year-old blended whiskies.
