Calling Scotch whiskey a food product only works if you believe alcohol is a nutritional building block. The cornerstone for many a lifestyle, it is quite a stretch to call it food, but it might be food for the soul, since it cheers us and lightens our burdens, if only for a short period of time. Not one to imbibe on a regular basis, and not one who generally likes hard liquor at all, it is no small wonder why I include this entry at all. While on a trip to Edinburgh it seemed only proper to try a few Scotch samples to see what all the fuss was about. The description of Artisan cask intrigued me when I saw the word caramel. This single malt is light and on the sweet side, but nothing like candy. It is not imported to the U.S. because of it's limited availability, so if you spot it on your travels, give it a try. Its distinctive oval shaped bottle is easy to spot.
