DISCOVER THE WHISKY REGIONS OF SCOTLAND

Scotland is split into five distinctive whisky-producing regions. The same basic process is used to produce whisky across the country, but subtle variations mean single malts from each region have unique characteristics and flavors. Single malts are the product of a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient.

opulent, yet soft & slightly meandering, picture an orchestra setting up: quiet vanilla with deep notes, already in tune; raisin bold & booming, though only in spells; chocolate a star performer, but not a standout; a sweet ensemble of apple, lemon & orange, beautifully balanced with a spicy quartet of root ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg & clove. then oak conducts, mature & elegant, with patience only time delivers. the spicy quartet leads, loud & full, unwavering in their performance. raisin dares to temper – and succeeds!! -but oak takes control; timeless polished, rich & resonating. vanilla & chocolate compliment each other. 38
