At this present moment in time, Ardnamurchan AD is my favourite whisky.
Just enough smoke and peat, just enough saline, just enough caramel. All perfectly balanced.
It's really really good.

The former bonded warehouse for Red Hackle Whisky on Otago Street in Glasgow. Self-styled as 'Scotland's Best Whisky' Red Hackle was established in 1920 by Charles Hepburn and Herbert Ross, two former soldiers and it was named after the distinctive red feather worn by members of the Black Watch. You can just about still make out the words Red Hackle on the faded advertisement for the whisky on the building's gable end.

The Famous Grouse Whisky mascot writ large. It's on the Edrington site in the Drumchapel area of Glasgow. It's just a pity it's not really publicly accessable.

Morgan in her natural habitat, and celebrating St. Patty's Day. Even a Scottish giraffe can celebrate, especially in Massachusetts.
I have never seen #canadians angrier at the #usgov, which is sad.
But these comments have also made me very curious about Canadian #whisky? What do you recommend? I'm especially curious about smaller, non-Seagram's-owned stuff.
