Scotland’s wildlife is typical of the north west of Europe, although several of the larger mammals such as the Lynx, Brown Bear, Wolf, Elk and Walrus were hunted to extinction in historic times. The flora of the country is varied incorporating both deciduous and coniferous woodland and moorland and tundra species. from Wikipedia

Join us next time when we’ll be tasting the Rosebank 12 year and Mortlach 16 year “Flora and Fauna” bottlings.

With a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper we bring you yet another round of The Scotchcast!

We’re not talking about your everyday kitchen spices however. The salt and pepper we’ll be looking at this time take the form of the Old Pulteney 12 year, and the Talisker Distiller’s Edition 1998.

We’ll be joined for the tasting by two special guests, and we’ll have a short revisit of last months tasting through the eyes, or rather taste buds, of some unsuspecting friends.

This will be the last episode of the Scotchcast… NOT!

Ok, ok, we know April Fool’s Day was yesterday and we know that you know we’re not going anywhere. That said, this episode was never intended to be an April fool’s, but we’ll let you decide for yourselves after listening.

This time around we’ll be tasting Jon, Mark, and Robbo’s The Smooth Sweeter One, and The Rich Spicy One, and in Scotch 101 Chip will tell us just exactly what a “vatted malt” is… or was, as the case may be.
