Single malt whisky limited releases

About this listSingle malt

Every line on this list is bottled as a single malt, the whisky of one distillery made from malted barley, but the legal definition depends on the country of origin. Under the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009, Single Malt Scotch Whisky must be distilled at a single distillery, from water and malted barley without any other cereals, in pot stills; that covers Scotch lines here such as Springbank Local Barley, Lagavulin Feis Ile and the Octomore editions. In the United States the TTB standard of identity for American single malt whisky took effect on 19 January 2025: it must be made from a mash of 100 percent malted barley, distilled entirely at one US distillery to no more than 160 proof, stored in oak barrels of up to 700 litres and bottled at no less than 80 proof, which is the category of Balcones Mirador and the Westland Outpost Range. In Japan the industry labelling standard for Japanese whisky took effect on 1 April 2021 with a three year transition for members; it requires saccharification, fermentation and distillation at a distillery in Japan, at least three years in wooden casks of no more than 700 litres in Japan, and bottling in Japan, which bears on the Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chichibu releases listed. Single malts on the list from India, Taiwan, Australia, Ireland and Sweden, such as Amrut, Kavalan, Starward, Teeling and Mackmyra, are not covered by these three definitions, so read each label for its age and strength.
