Scotch tasting with Simon Brookings

Its a fun and educational tasting of ‪ with Simon Brookings.  We learn exactly what makes a Scotch a “Single Malt”.  Plus some history and the process of making Scotch Whisky.  Why is some Scotch “peatier” than others?  What exactly is peat anyway? Also, a report from Paul Pacult’s Rum Authority event at Keen’s Steakhouse in NYC. In the news:  David Wondrich has released an update to his great book Imbibe.
