What is it about whisky that’s so enticing? On this day two of our Taste of Scotland celebration, we will find out!
Sure, it encompasses a broad spectrum of styles and flavours, but the same could be said of wine, beer, and rum. Maybe we’re biased, but whisky is more than just a drink, it’s portal to another place and time (and we don’t mean waking up, fully clothed on your sofa the next morning).
This month’s auction isn’t just full of wonderful whiskies, it’s full of time machines. For those with means to do so, you could sample a Macallan than began its journey to your glass nearly 84 years ago, in December 1938; be transported to the windswept coast of Islay as you experience a wonderful old Laphroaig Pre-Royal Warrant or Sherriff’s Bowmore, or ring in the new Millennium again with Springbank! Remember, even a 10-year-old whisky bottled this year was distilled when the world was a very different place. These aren’t just whiskies, they’re liquid history.
