Here are a few things I learned about Scotch.
1. You don't stick your nose in the glass like you do with wine. You place the glass under your nose and gently swirl the Scotch around the glass to allow the fragrence to disapate.
2. Mix only a cap full of water to a dram of Scotch ex. water bottle cap.
3. Store bottles in a dark place.
4. All Scotch contains the same four fundamental components. What's makes each Scotch unique is the local water they use and the size of the still.
5. There's no such thing as a "double" malt
