In 1881 the two regiments amalgamated to form The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. They have a long history of fighting for their country. The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders scotch is a smooth blended scotch. Distillery unknown.

I prefer a single malt to blended but this one is not bad at all.

Show Notes:
Caerlaverock Castle between Annan and Dumfries South West Scotland
Surrounded by a double moat and hundreds of acres of flat marshy willow woods (known in Scotland as a "moss"), Caerlaverock was built to control the South-West entrance to Scotland which in early times was the waterway across the Solway Firth.
Building began in about 1277, and by 1300 it was besieged by Edward I during his war against the Scottish king John (Balliol), a war still remembered for the brave resistance put up by the Scots under Sir William Wallace. Its triangular plan is unique in Scotland.
The scotch comes in a miniature collectable bottle. Unknown who distilled it in Scotland. It is la labled as a single malt.
Color: Light Yellow
Nose: Fruity
Palate: Fruity and spicy
Finish: Slightly sharp and long
If you get the opportunity give it a try. And if you know the distiller, please let me know.

Welcome to this weeks edition of Scotch Tips – Glen Grant
Show Notes:
Founded in 1823 by two former illegal distillers and smugglers. In 1840, brothers John and James Grant decided to take out a licence and make the distillery legal! The distillery prides itself in the fact that it has had only nine distillery managers in its entire history and even less master blenders – four, excluding the founding brothers.
Color: Pale gold
Nose: Medium/Dry with a good balance of ripe orchard fruit
Palate: Intense fruity note
Finish: Long soft nutty, almond, dry
This is a great scotch you need to taste.
