Single malt Scotch uses peat and various casks (sherry, port, etc.) to enhance flavor, but no flavorings added directly to the liquid. Similarly "straight" bourbon and American rye cannot have added flavoring. The issue with Templeton is that it isn't straight so there was no legal problem with them adding flavoring.skuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487419662314518931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-79675275287931893822015-01-13T12:54:47.695-08:002015-01-13T12:54:47.695-08:00Wait a minute -- producers are adding flavorings?!...Wait a minute -- producers are adding flavorings?!?!?!
