The latest featured product from Master of Malt might just be their most bold yet — a whisky liqueur said to be the world’s oldest. 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 […]
Glenfiddich got its name from the Gaellic term meaning ‘Valley of the Deer’, so it’s little surprise the Scottish distillery emblazons one of the elegant animals on each of its green bottles. That same richness of tradition transfers to their newest exclusive single malt whisky range, the Age of Discovery. Brian Kinsman, Malt Master for […]
Glasgow’s only distillery Auchentoshan has recently introduced Valinch, their newest edition of single malt whisky. A cask strength edition of their classic scotch (rated at a highly potent 115-proof), Auchentoshan’s Valinch is named after the pipette used to draw whisky straight from the cask. The Lowland distillery’s spirit is triple distilled — Auchentoshan being the […]

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 […]
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 […]
