Spirits Weekly Webinar: A trip through Scotland

By SOMDATTA SENGUPTA

You can say that we saved the best for last. This is our last Webinar before Christmas and we wanted to bring you a new host on our series, someone with great experience in Scotch whisky.

Meet Dave Conroy, the East Coast Region Manager for International Beverage Company. To listen to Dave is a pleasure because when he talks about Scotch whisky he actually takes you there, to the lush countryside of Scotland, giving you a feel of the soil, the air and the peat that lends its flavor to each bottle you buy and taste.

As you listen to Dave, layers of information unfold to take you into the background of each product, the ingredients and the careful craftsmanship with which each bottle of Scotch is produced.

With Dave, the more you listen the more you learn. The most important thing I learned so far ... that more than the soil, the air or the peat, water is the key to a great tasting Scotch whisky! Imagine that!

If you are like me, you will like to know the history, the story and the details behind every gift you give this Christmas, of what you serve for your guests or even what you taste yourself. When I taste a wine or liqueur that I have researched and learned about, my enjoyment of the product doubles because I can go deeper into the taste, the nuances of the product and the experience becomes even more delicious.

Thanks to our knowledgeable pool of experts, who are always willing to spend their time with our readers and customers to make their wine and fine spirits shopping experience much more exciting and fun.

When you are ready to brave your way through Scotland, please drop by our store at 853 Route 35 N, where the clown is and walk through Aisle 3 to make your fine selections.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
