And just like that, it’s season 10 and we’re kicking off with a good one.
To warm things up, we’ve got a bit of a whisky thing going on product-wise, with two new bottles for your drinking pleasure. One, The Stanhope has a Scottish connection but is made in the US, while the other comes from one of our favourite family brands, it’s Rosemaund from the Chase family and it’s proudly English.
Award-winning writer Noah Rothbaum shares all the intel on the subject in his whopper of a book ‘The Whisky Bible – A Complete Guide to the World’s Greatest Spirit’ and there are whiskies aplenty in our bar pick which is the recently opened Eagle Bar perched atop the glam Chancery Rosewood in London.
