Popcorn.
That’s right. Popcorn.
As the former Keeper of the Quaich at Edrington, Master Blender Max McFarlane has worked with some of the most famous whisky brands in the world, including The Famous Grouse, The Macallan and Highland Park.
He reckons he can persuade anyone to enjoy whisky.
And he says it all comes down to popcorn...
Now with Ardgowan Distillery and the nose behind Ardgowan’s Clydebuilt range of private bottlings, Max explains to John the best way to drink whisky: when to have ice; when to have water; what glass to use; and finally how to nose and sip your dram.
“The sweet receptors are at the front of your tongue,” Max says. “So don’t throw your whisky back. Bring it right round your mouth; bring it to the front of your tongue. Make it almost romantic and let it slip down gently.”
So join John and Max as they celebrate the heritage and flavour of Scotland's national drink and the world's favourite spirit.
Slàinte!
