I really enjoy scotch whiskey. Do you?
Yes. I really enjoy a single malt scotch.
I prefer Islay single malts like Laphroaig - which do you like?
My favorite single malt scotch is Macallan 12 year
Scotch whiskey has been around a long time - the first mention of it in literature is from 1495!
That is incredible.  Where was it invented?
Scotland, of course. Originally it was all made from malted barley, but moved to the current recipe of wheat and rye in the 1700s.
Wow, I did not know the recipe was switched!
If there is an age on the label, it must be by law the age of the youngest whisky used to produce that whiskey.
