Photo So if we’re going to have a Man-Cave section, it needs to have a Scotch article. You can order vodka/cranberry in college, but eventually, you’ll need to learn to drink like a man. Just sayin’ Scotch is an acquired taste. Which means you’ll most likely hate it the first time you drink
Photo There are some whiskys out there that taste out of this world, but there’s a chance that in the future, they’re actually going to be out of this world. No, astronauts are not trying to figure out how to get tipsy in space (even though that would be fun). NanoRacks LLC, a Houston based

Whiskey, a spirit distilled from malted grain, is an umbrella term encompassing bourbon, rye and scotch among many others. Think
photo There’s nothing like living vicariously through others, which is why we linger over stories about whisky auctions. Imagine plunking down $72,632 for a 55-year-old bottle of Glenfiddich Scotch made to honor the oldest living Scot. It was auctioned in Edinburgh recently and broke a European record. The bottle was one of 15
photo We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the hubbub in the scotch world is that a potential supply shortage is expected due to rising export shipments of Scotch whisky. According to the Scotch Whisky Association trade group, overseas sales of Scotch whisky in the last nine months rose by
