How would you describe your perfect whisky? What is it that you look for? A question to both the newly whisky-curious, and the established whisky enthusiasts. I would love to hear about your experiences, what you are chasing, and perhaps what you are looking for but struggling to find. The category 'whisky' is so broad that all manner of flavours can be found within it. In Scotland alone, there are the beautifully floral and delicate, the rich, oily and bold, and the smoky and medicinal just to name a few. And that was by no means an exhaustive list! Is it a style of whisky, a particular flavour within your whisky, or maybe a certain mouthfeel or finish which you find yourself gravitating towards? Let's talk whisky! Slainte.

📜 Today, we unveil a secret: why is whiskey smoked in the glass? You can never have too much smoke when it comes to a whiskey cocktail, especially with our Scotсh FLY! Want to add depth and intensity to the flavor? Then try the smoky ritual – a technique beloved by true connoisseurs. It enhances the hints of peat and oak barrels already present in our blend, turning each sip into a rich, refined pleasure. ❓ How do the pros do it? They smoke the whiskey right in the glass (there are many methods!), adding a few drops of orange bitters, a piece of ice, and a touch of orange zest. The combination of smoke and these ingredients creates a truly unique, sophisticated experience, heightening the flavor profile. 🥃 But for those who want to experience the pure essence of our whiskey, without any additions, the classic method remains unrivaled. It preserves every subtle note and highlights the strength of Scottish whiskey-making tradition. FLY – crafted in Scotland to honor ancient traditions and the spirit of true whiskey.

What is new make spirit? 🥃 New make spirit is unaged whisky. It’s the clear liquid that comes off the still after distillation, before maturing in barrels. The casks provide most of whiskies colour. It’s very strong, typically above 70% ABV. Maturation and dilution bring whisky down to familiar bottling strengths. The term 'new make' is most commonly associated with Scotch whisky. In America, it’s called white dog, hooch, white lightning, or moonshine. Essentially, moonshine is unaged whiskey, though often more complex. The same goes for Irish poitín, which is quite similar to new make.
