Actor Rahul Khanna, a self-confessed wine person, travels to the whisky capital of the world. And things are not the same anymore.
One can’t argue the fact that Scotland and single malt Scotch whisky are synonymous. But for me both were, almost entirely, new experiences. So when I got a call to host a whisky show on TV, I gave it the go ahead in a jiffy! After all, how bad could the combination be – Scotland and Whisky?
And that’s how the journey began. Here I was in Dufftown, Scotland, all set for the show that transports you to the whisky capital of the world. The fortnight that I spent in Scotland discovering whisky were phenomenal and has arguably shaped my taste buds forever, turning me into a bit of a whisky maverick myself. Allow me to elaborate.
Let me explain the chronology of what could be your next single malt quest in Scotland; consider this my humble guide to whisky basics:
Start by answering this question – how well do you know your single malt?
You need to be fair to yourself and the world while you answer this question. We have all had whisky, but how well do we know our whisky?
I’ll be honest and give it a 4/10; I always thought that whisky was a drink for the loud, brash, boisterous uncles at family gatherings. Until, I was introduced to single malt by a few sophisticated friends a couple of years ago. Now that changed me forever.
