When people talk about Bourbon, they usually talk about the barrels - they go on about the char levels and whether there was any toasting. After that, they might discuss the age and the time the liquid spent in those nicely charred barrels because, for most people, that time and those barrels denote the liquid's flavour. Occasionally, the conversat…

30:13

We live in a time when people often refer to Scotch not only by the brand name but also by the age of the liquid. In executive boardrooms and exclusive gentlemen's clubs, the names of single malts are mentioned with a certain reverence, and a hush will come over the room as a Glenlivit 74-year-old or a Dalmore 45-year-old, as discussed. They are ex…
