When the Navy was conducting voyages in the Caribbean in the 16 and 1700s they found themselves a plentiful supply of rum. With a much longer shelf life than beer, rum became the sailors’ first choice of tipple. The rum and lemon/lime juice concoction became known as ‘Grog’. Essentially, hungover. This, of course, is disputed.

It has all the depth and complexity of the best rum youve ever tasted, yet it hails from Scotland. Because the bartender poured it and only charged me for a single. Until then, Id never tried anything from Glenury Royal or from The Rare Malts Selection, for that matterbut this whisky absolutely blew me away. How do I know? What a guy!
