Scotch whisky Starting from November 2011, no Scotch whisky could be labelled as a vatted malt or pure malt, the SWR requiring them to be labelled blended malt instead. Blended Scotch whisky constitutes about 90% of the whisky produced in Scotland. Blended Scotch whiskies contain both malt whisky and grain whisky. Producers combine the various malts and grain whiskies to produce a consistent brand style. Notable blended Scotch whisky brands include Ballantine's, Bell's, Chivas Regal, Cutty Sark, Dewar's, J&B, Johnnie Walker, Teacher's Highland Cream, The Famous Grouse, and Whyte and Mackay. Most malt distilleries sell a significant amount of whisky by the
Scotch Malt Whisky Society of bottles available, making each release rare and sought-after. The Society releases new whisky seletcions for its members once or twice a month. The Society has also bottled single casks from grain whisky distilleries, identified by the prefix 'G' in the cask number. Occasionally, the Society releases bottlings with special labels – such as the Far Flung Flavours, a set of three bottles with labels and names that break with the traditional style of Society labels. Each bottle has a specially designed label based on the key characteristics of the whisky – for example, 'Wasabi Wipe-out', which featured an illustration
