We go there for our annual firm summer time dinner retreat. Well, two out of three summers so far anyway.
There are a few scotch drinkers at my place of business and about 3 or 4 who didn't take a lot of prodding to give it a try.
To me, the difference between a good scotch and the one you probably tried when you were 18 is similar to the difference between the tequila shoot in a bar and the good stuff you sip down in Mexico. I'm not a tequila fan but after trying a few good varieties at a tasting in Playa del Carmen it really opened my eyes.
The first time I tried a good scotch was with a lawyer from Great Falls at a wedding reception. Until then it was all JW Red, Cutty Sark, J&B. There was clearly a world of difference.
Anyone who is at all curious about scotch should try to hit up a place like Buchanan's with excellent selection or, better yet, partake in a tasting at some place like Willow Park.
