About This Style

What These Profiles Represent

Scotch whisky is a protected geographical indication and a regulated spirit category. GOV.UK describes Scotch Whisky verification through the Spirit Drink Verification Scheme, and the Scotch Whisky Association summarizes the legal baseline: Scotch must be distilled and matured in Scotland in oak casks for at least three years and bottled at a minimum 40% ABV.

The Scotch Whisky Association traces the earliest documented Scottish distilling record to the 1494 Exchequer Rolls, which list malt supplied to Friar John Cor to make aqua vitae. That record supports long historical continuity, but it does not identify a single inventor or modern brand origin.

Modern Scotch is organized by both production category and place. The Scotch Whisky Association FAQ identifies the protected locality and regional names Campbeltown, Highland, Islay, Lowland, and Speyside, and those region names are used only when the whisky was distilled in the place claimed.

The active DUI Professional Scotch profile set spans blended Scotch, blended malt, and single malt profiles from Scotland-linked producer information. The profile set average is useful for subtype review, but For BAC simulation, use the selected drink record, pour volume, and product ABV rather than treating the subtype average as a consumed drink.

Simulation Use

Use the Product Profile, Not the Average

Use these Scotch profiles to compare ABV, serving size, and estimated standard-drink dose before adding a drink to a simulation. For case work, start with the specific drink profile and then adjust pour volume, drink timing, and any case-specific assumptions.
