Based on a single malt Speyside scotch matured over half a century in sherry casks, the flavors added (touches of natural sugar and spices) were carefully selected to accentuate the […]

An exclusive single malt whisky by the scotch distillery

LIAS gets boozed up on some of our favorite Scotch

We were lucky enough to have scored entry to the recent kick off for The Balvenies Rare Craft Roadshow in NYC. As you may recall we’re quite fond of The Balvenie here at LIAS so having the opportunity to sample what may be the finest handcrafted scotch for the money was like finding cash in […]

Finished in rum casks for a slightly sweeter expression

I would really like to get my hands on The Balvenie’s latest release, a 14 year old whisky called Caribbean Cask. The single malt scotch is titled as such because after being aged in traditional whisky barrels for 14 years, it was transferred to rum barrels to finish. The Speyside distillery crafts some of the […]
