- All about whisky societies, including how to find a group to join in your area.
- How Scotch whiskies produced on Islay traditionally differ in style from those made in other famous regions like the Highlands, or Speyside, for example.
- Some important definitions for terms like “malting” and “peat,” and an examination of the role that terroir plays in peated malts.
- How to think about technical terms like Phenol Parts per Million (or PPM)
- A tasting of several impressive Islay Scotch expressions,
- And much, much more.
