“A famous favorite of Scotland’s for more than 40 years, The Famous Grouse Blended Scotch Whisky gives you honey the minute it touches your lips, and it’s perfect for cocktails,” says Keyatta Mincey Parker. “This Scotch is expertly blended and matured in season oak casks for a rich, rounded sweetness enhanced by gentle floral and gentle spice. It is a medium-bodied whisky, very easy-drinking, and with a reasonable price!” 

With its bold scent of fruits with a touch of sweet vanilla, a taste of creamy toffee and spice rolling over the tongue, finishing with a smoky warmth, it’s no wonder John Codd chose a classic: “Johnnie Walker Black Label is the perfect introduction to Scotch but also great for veteran Scotch drinkers who like something approachable, milder in taste, and usually easy to find at bars and liquor stores alike. Its medium body makes it a great whisky for cocktails, and the subtle honey, vanilla, and spice notes work especially wonderfully. Citrus also plays well with Johnnie Walker Black because it isn’t heavily peated and the brighter flavors are able to shine.”

Caer Maiko recommends SIA Blended Scotch Whisky: “SIA is a woman-founded blended Scotch that uses Speyside, Highland, Lowland, and Islay whiskies. It’s a drier blend richly balanced with scents of heather, hay, dried stone fruit, vanilla, and ginger. The palette is very similar: soft, dry but malty with a hint of sea salt. It’s light and easygoing, while still being distinctly Scotch!”
