What's in a whisky?

Thanks to the introduction of a brand new Standard, BS 8636:2023 Whisky - Use of analytical pararmeters and methods of analysis - Specification, the answer to "what's in a whisky" will be easier to answer, because it:

• Defines consistent best production practices for whisky, meaning that the quality and flavour will be the same for each new batch

• Empowers whisky distillers to trade internationally due to the ability to demonstrate that the product meets regulatory requirements and expectations of a global market

• Demonstrates whisky quality and authenticity
