Basic Requirements

The basic Scotch single malt inventory requirement of a Scotch Doc "Scotch Single Malt Store of Distinction" is the inclusion of at least one Scotch single malt from each of the traditional geographical Scotch single malt production "Regions and Districts." In addition, there must be representatives of other geographical locations, or Districts, within these Regions, that many experts on the characteristics of Scotch single malt believe consistently contribute a distinctive quality, or level of character, to malts that are produced in these geographical locales. A particular distillery that consistently produces a malt of distinctive quality will also be included in this list. Malts bottled at cask strength and Independent Bottling representatives should also be included in the inventory of an exemplary Scotch single malt retailer. Therefore, the "Scotch Single Malt Store of Distinction," as designated by The Scotch Doc, will stock at least one Scotch single malt representative, listed in alphabetical order, from each of the locales (Region and District) included in the following list.
