Tonique Magazine Publishes A Great Scotch Whiskey 101
My quest to learn the basics of the spirits world and share the best resources with you has led me to the far reaches of the internet and back (this includes a few visits to Reddit, of all places). In any case, I wanted to share this Scotch Whiskey 101 from Tonique Magazine. Thus far, I have not read a better introduction to Scotch Whiskey.
The article answers common questions like:
- What is the difference between “Scotch”, “whiskey”, and “whisky”?
- Why is it called single malt?
- What is malt?
- What is peat, and how does it make some Scotch smoky?
- Why do so many Scotches have the word “glen” in their names?
For all of you looking to understand more of the basics about Scotch, this is the article for you. A big shout out to Tonique Magazine for the great content. They are a monthly digital magazine that specializes in, you guessed it, all things alcoholic.
