distillery in Scotland from water and malted barley (to
which only whole grains of other cereals may be added) all
of which have been—
(i) processed at that
distillery into a mash;
(ii) converted to a
fermentable substrate only by endogenous enzyme
systems; and
(iii) fermented only
by the addition of yeast;
(b) which has been
distilled at an alcoholic strength by volume of less than
94.8 per cent so that the distillate has an aroma and taste
derived from the raw materials used in, and the method of,
its production;
(c) which has been matured
in an excise warehouse in Scotland in oak casks of a
capacity not exceeding 700 litres, the period of that
maturation being not less than 3 years;

in, and the method of, its production and maturation;
and
(e) to which no substance
other than water and spirit caramel has been added.
