#Campbeltown: On the western side of mainland #Scotland lies Campbeltown, the smallest of the five scotch regions. The #Kintyre peninsula was once filled with distilleries and produced the most whisky, though only three remain today. #WhiskyDenFacts #WhiskyRegions

#SpeysideWhisky You'll find whisky with light, grassy profiles and sweet, rich whisky finished in sherry cask. Some have a complex, very refined smokiness while others are completely devoid of peat. #WhiskyDenFacts #WhiskyRegions

[Whisky Den Facts @WhiskyDen]

The #singlemalts of #Speyside are considered the most elegant of the lot. The #whisky is surprisingly diverse for the area, though generally characterized with #honey, hints of #spice, and light #smoke. #WhiskyDenFacts #WhiskyRegions

#Highland whisky is not as light as #Lowland whisky but lighter and more elegant than the bullies from #Islay. #Oban, #Glenmorangie, and the #Dalmore are great examples. #WhiskyDenFacts

[Whisky Den Facts @WhiskyDen]

Islay whisky is generally described heavily peated, oily and even iodine-like and medicinal. Islay is an island off the coast of Scotland proper, and a number of marine characteristics can carry into the whiskeys produced here: #Ardbeg, #Laphroaig, and #Lagavullin #WhiskyDenFacts

#Lowland #whisky is generally regarded as the most light bodied of the single malts. #Auchentoshan and #Glenkinchie are two examples. - #WhiskyDenFacts

[Whisky Den Facts @WhiskyDen]

There are five (some argue six) regions of #Scotland for the purposes of #singlemalts: #Highland, #Lowland, #Speyside, #Islay, #TheIslands, #Campbeltown - Have you tried them all? #WhiskyDenFacts

Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill knew that whiskey was the key to a better life—He said, “When I was a young subaltern in the South African War, the water was not fit to drink. To make it palatable, we had to add whisky. By diligent effort, I learned to like it.”

Speaking of #cocktails, let's talk about the #KentuckyMule - Playing around with #bourbon in cocktails is really fun. Why? It's simple, the sweetness of this #Spirit makes the combinations almost unlimited. Ginger, mint, lemon, crushed ice, #WildTurkey101, what could go wrong?

#WhiskyDenAntigua - our last tweet had #Regina one of our loved #bartenders (who's now in #Prague) finishing an excepcional #OldFashioned - This pic has #Angel (#WorldClassFinalist for GT 2018) with our wide #bitters selection. Which one do you prefer for your #OldFashioned?

Also about #singlemalts there's something magical on how each region tastes so different. The French have a term called "sens de lieu," that translates loosely as a “sense of place.” - Water, the heart of spirits. #Whisky #SingleMalt #Scotch #WhiskyDenFacts

#DidYouKnow The process for making single malt Scotch is deceptively simple. It is the preparation of the barley for fermentation that is unique to Scotch. #whisky #WhiskeyWednesday #SingleMalt #Scotch #WhiskyDenFacts

[Whisky Den Facts @WhiskyDen]

Inicia con un aroma puntual y distintivo, cítrico de limón, seguido de notas de chocolate con leche. Sobresale en el paladar las notas de especias, canela y cierra con caramelo; El acabado de esta Malta nos regala un buqué delicado con notas de pasas y vainilla. #MacallanQuest

Renowned author of books like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain had a certain affinity for whiskey. He couldn’t get enough of it, once saying, “Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.” #WhiskyDenFacts

#DidYouKnow Uisge-beatha is the name for whisky in Scottish Gaelic, with the word 'whisky' stemming from a mispronunciation of the word 'uisge'. Uisge-beatha literally translates as 'water of life'. #WhiskyDenFacts #Guatemala #AntiguaGuatemala #Whisky
