Glasgow pub the Pot Still is a whisky-lover’s paradise. The bar stocks more than 600 selections from Scotland, as well as other parts of the whisk(e)y-making world. A list like that can be intimidating, but the super-knowledgeable bartenders are more than happy to help make sense of it.

Image(s) of the Day: Belgrove Distillery, Kempton, Tasmania, Australia
Since today is Earth Day, we thought it would be appropriate to include a shot of the man behind Tasmania’s Belgrove Distillery, Peter Bignell. Belgrove, best known for its rye, is what Bignell calls not a carbon-neutral distillery, but a carbon-negative one.

Image of the Day: The Baxter Inn, Sydney, Australia
As per usual with speakeasy-type bars, Sydney’s Baxter is next to impossible to find. It’s tucked away in an alley, down a flight of uninviting, industrial-looking stairs.

Cardhu’s distilling activities date back to 1824 when former whisky smuggler John Cumming went legit and launched the business. Cardhu produces some of the single malts that…
Malt, Motorways & Madness
There’s no other way to explore a place whose culture is so intertwined with fine beverages than through a glass. That’s especially true of Scotland from both a whisky and beer standpoint. For me, a trip is a complete failure if it’s so over-planned that I don’t actually learn anything during the journey. I’d rather…
