Charlie talks Scotch Whiskey in preparation for Wednesday's Tasting.

For the tasting on Wednesday night (11/24, 5 - 7 p.m.), we're doing four really outstanding Scotches for $12.

One of the Scotches, Ardmore, is a Highland Scotch. Typically Highland Scotches that are less peaty, which I like as I am a bourbon drinker. However, this is the only fully petted Highland Scotch, so I am interested to try this. It's a single malt. It's double cask-matured, which gives it longer exposure to the oak, which is going to give it deeper notes and flavors.

The other three Scotches that we're doing are all from the Laphroaig series.
