The World's First Single Malt Whisky Menorah?
Just when you think you have seen everything, something comes about to make you realize you haven't. Witness---a seven-foot tall single malt whisky menorah. Yaacov Behrman reports that the Tullibardine Distillery donated 65 liters of Scotch used to fill the menorah. The menorah was unveiled at the Chabad in London in mid-December. The whisky was sampled by and then drained from the menorah into small bottles and distributed to the attendees

 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whiskies
The New York Times posted a web page on Speyside whiskies back in December 2008.
It includes videos - one provides an overview, and the others focus on The Balvenie, Glen Grant, and Tamdhu.
Eric Asimov is a pretty good booze writer, and the Times' web page includes a couple lovely photographs of the Highlands. Well done, and worth a few minutes of your time.Labels: Scotch
