Scotch-Tails Every Scotch Lover Should Know About

You might have spent most of your time sipping on Scotch neat or on the rocks but those aren’t the only ways to savour a good dram. That’s like saying you like poached eggs and you’re ready to eat them in that single way for the rest of your life.
It’s true that Scotch has its own set of loyalists, and for good reasons. The drink is divine on its own. But there’s a whole world of Scotch cocktails out there, concocted specially for people who like their Scottish whiskies.  
If you’re one of them, you need to know about these quintessential Scotch-tails.
