Tastings

How would you like the opportunity to taste up to 800 single-malts at one location?

And what about the two questions for any lover of Scotch. Does size matter? Is older really better?

(Size refers to big or small distilleries)

Tastings provide a chance to sip and learn. It’s not all about the booze, either. Tasting get-togethers offer a hearty dose of historical, cultural, and fun facts about our smooth beverage.

With some 800 single malts in stock, the Dundee Dell claims to have the largest ready-to-pour supply of any bar in the world, according to manager Monique Huston.

Although a beginner may say that they all look similar, knowledgeable sorts like Huston, who moderates the tastings at the Dell, can easily distinguish the pale yellows from the ambers and the golds.

Experts look, smell, and taste. They swish the glass and notice the stickiness. They smell and notice different scents which could remind you and I of banana or butterscotch, and others. They taste and notice woody, oaky, briny, peaty, and more.

More affordable types of Scotch that you might come across at your local watering hole are a blend, a combination of up to 50 single-malt whiskeys with grain-neutral spirits. Single-malt Scotch, like the kind spotlighted at tastings, is considered the finest.

And what about those 2 burning questions? Does size matter? Is older really better?
