which are distilled closer to neutrality in taste and then generally not aged in wood.

 The basis of Scotch whisky is the heather-flavored ales made from barley malt that the

Picts and their prehistoric ancestors brewed. Archeologists have found evidence of

such brewing dating back to at least 2000 B.C. This ale (which is still produced today by

 The local Picts found that they could create a stable alcoholic beverage by distilling

their heather ale. Simple stills came to be found in most rural homesteads, and

homemade whisky became an integral part of Gaelic culture.
