It is said that the art of distilling was discovered somewhere in Asia in approximately 800 B.C.  The assumption was that this technique was merely used to make perfumes, however this has been refuted.

When you think of a man’s drink, what comes to mind? Baileys? Vodka?  To many, scotch seems to be the drink of choice for grown men and seemingly this choice has been made for many, many years. There is most probably not a spirit, more endeared by men than scotch.

The majority of fine scotch distillers sell casks of their product as a whole for blending purposes as well as to private buyers. Usually the distiller name will be placed on a blended product however not the logo. This is an indication that the product is indeed blended and not single malt.

Twelve:  Is this indeed the magic number when it comes to fine scotch? In a matter of terms the answer is yes. When trying to decide on a scotch it would be best to look for that magical number, as it will indicate to you that at least it has grown into full body.

The notion that all scotch must be at least 12 years to be enjoyed is a common understanding among scotch drinkers everywhere.  However, one company is out to prove them wrong.  This scotch is just two years shy of the twelve year mark, but is growing in popularity.
