Staff Pick Notes

Do you like s’mores? ...Of course you do! Now, let’s make one together: First, we’ll need some barley. (Stay with me.) To dry it out, we'll need a good amount of (but not too much) heathery peat smoke. (See where I’m going with this?) Next, we’ll grind the barley and make a paper-thin, densely textured cracker of it. While you lightly toast a petite-sized marshmallow, slowly turning it over an open flame, evoking vanillin and subtle charred notes, I’ll prepare the dark chocolate slivers, sea-salted caramel sauce, and fresh, deliciously sweet orange wedges. Ready? Toasty, nutty, crackly cereal notes combined with generous heathery peat smoke, followed by rich vanilla and subtle char, a hint of dark chocolate, sea-salted caramel, and deliciously sweet oranges… What a Scotch! Take a bottle home, and you’ll know just what I mean. Mmm.
