When Was Scotch Invented?

Scotch has a long and storied history that dates back centuries. It first began to be produced in Scotland in the late 1400s, when distilleries became an early form of industry for the region. Since then, scotch has been enjoyed by many around the world.

By the 18th century, Scotland had become known for its fine whiskies due to its temperate climate and abundance of high-quality barley. Many notable scotches were created during this period, including The Glenlivet which was founded in 1824 and remains one of the most popular brands today.

In 1909, legislation was passed that regulated how whisky could be produced in Scotland, setting rules on production methods and defining what could be called “scotch” from other whiskies or spirits made outside of Scotland. This law still stands today and helps define how scotch whisky is made all around the world.

In Conclusion

Today, scotch remains one of the most widely consumed spirits globally with fans ranging from cocktail enthusiasts to connoisseurs who appreciate its unique flavor profile. With centuries of history behind it, there’s no doubt that scotch will remain a favorite drink for generations to come.
