Sku s Latest Eats: Whiskey Wednesday: Worst Scotch Ever

Loch Dhu is the Edsel of Scotch malt whisky; it's famous for being a whole and utter failure. A ten yr previous product of the Mannochmore distillery, it's broadly known as one of many worst Scotch single malts ever released. Nearly black in color, which some have speculated is because of a massive infusion of caramel, Loch Dhu was recognized as the "black whisky" and its title is Gaelic for "black lake." The whisky was launched in 1996 and its infamous popularity has solely grown since then. Actually, strangely enough, it is taken into account a collector's item and goes for a whole bunch of dollars at public sale, although nobody recommends drinking it. It is a real whisky oddity.

Parked along the lively Ann Siang is the two-storey wine and whisky haven, Tipple and Dram. Tipple is its road-degree wine bar, however go that to the basement and you’ll find yourself in Dram, a speakeasy-model bar with stately leather couches to sink into as you imbibe. The staff behind Dram has collected more than one hundred bottlings, most unique to distilleries, which makes a trip to this bar a journey throughout Scotland to your palate, with out having to board a airplane.

As on-line shopping is taking off for the whole lot else, why not for whisky? Having stuff delivered to your door is handy and environment friendly. You'll have time over for better things than queueing at your native off license on a Friday afternoon... And you're probably getting a better deal as well!
