Death to Scotch Snobbery
This episode of the award-winning podcast Life Behind Bars breaks down the biggest Scotch whisky misconceptions.
When did drinking Scotch get to be so damn complicated?
There are rules, myths, legends and half-truths that are, for lack of a better term, absolute and utter shite. They can also unfortunately lead to Scotch shaming, preventing you from drinking what you really want to drink. (Bartender: Please just add a few ice cubes to my dram and hold the lecture about the sanctity of whisky’s purity.)
Drinking whisky should, of course, be enjoyable. On this episode of the award-winning podcast Life Behind Bars, co-hosts David Wondrich and Noah Rothbaum help you cut through the Scotch snobbery by breaking down the biggest Scotch misconceptions and falsehoods.
So fix a Scotch anyway you like—seriously, we won’t judge you—and listen to this episode of Life Behind Bars.
