In this continuation of our spirited tour of Islay with Scotch enthusiast Adam Safir, some of the things we discuss include:
- How a new distillery has changed the Islay landscape for the first time in over 100 years
- Why non-age statement whiskies may be on the rise, and how to approach bottles that don’t have age statements.
- A bit of discussion about various barrel finishes, including rum and sherry casks.
- How to decide when a particular bottle isn’t living up to its potential
- What language you need to learn if you want to know who adds caramel coloring to their Scotch whisky
- And much, much more
