Reply To: Single Malt Scotch

I Have been to Glenlivet, Glenmorangie, and most of the famous distilleries in Scotland and can confirm that All casks are burned out with a blow torch b4 being filled with whisky.
and like someone mentioned above.
in order to get a consistent taste, all whiskys companies will mix many different casks into one large ‘pot’ and master blender will taste and add different barrels until taste is consistent.
this obviously excludes single cask bottles, however these are mainly collectors items.
