Whisky Business Mysteries is a six-book cozy mystery series by Melinda Mullet set among the distilleries and moors of Scotland. The series begins with Single Malt Murder (2017) and follows investigator Abi Logan as she navigates deaths and deceptions in the closely knit world of Scottish whisky production. Subsequent titles — Death Distilled, Deadly Dram, Died in the Wool, In the Still of the Night, and Spirit of the Dead — maintain the beverage-themed naming convention while exploring different mysteries.

The series ran from 2017 to 2024, with a five-year gap between Died in the Wool (2019) and In the Still of the Night (2023). Readers who enjoy British and Scottish cozy mysteries with a distinctive occupational setting will find this series among the more original examples of the subgenre.
