Edradour is known as one of Scotland’s smallest distillery. It’s a highlands single malt that was…

Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or
Whenever I think of sweet whiskies one of the first brand that comes to mind is Glenmorangie. Most of the Glenmorangie whiskies I’ve tasted have been on the sweeter side and this Nectar D’Or is no exception. For this expression Glenmorangie starts the maturing process in bourbon casks and finishes the process in Sauternes casks….

Great King Street – Artist’s Blend Blended Scotch
I don’t always seek out blended Scotches. Most of the time I try a brand mainly in part to a recommendation that has been made, and that is exactly how I came to try Great King Street – Artist’s Blend Blended Scotch. After stopping by for a quick bite at Nebo restaurant in Boston the bartender (I believe…
