How is Scotch Whisky produced?

Single malts, the original scotch whiskies, are derived from sprouted barley that has been dried in kilns fired by peat and coal, which imparts a distinctive smoky character to the spirit.

There is a trace of carbohydrates in regular whisky. Related link: http://www.weightlossforall.com/carbohydrates-alcohol.htm

Blended Scotch Whisky is created using carefully selected Single Malt whiskies and 'blending' them together.

Scotch whiskey is distilled from malted barley that may or may not have been smoked over a peat fire.
