Single malt, once a native Scottish spirit, has expanded into the world through Glenfiddich.
In the Scotch market, which has been dominated by blended whiskies, a new category called single malt whiskies has emerged.

When Macallan comes up, Koreans, Americans, and Scottish people all talk about the same thing.
They are constantly complaining and dissatisfied, saying things like, "It's hard to even look at," "It's too expensive," and "They only put out limited editions."
But still, everyone wants it.
Whiskey, which everyone wants but not everyone can have.
That is the Macallan that has become a ‘luxury’ brand.

Glenfarclas is a special distillery.
They have maintained independent family management for many years.
He values ​​tradition more than anyone else.
I think maintaining quality is more important than selling more.
The production process, from fermentation to maturation, is also unique.
Yet, they don't care about market trends or trends.
I don't care what other people do or say.
It just goes its own way.
Glenfarclas is special.
It's a particularly stubborn place.

Honestly, this is my first time drinking a Cardhu Highball.
But as soon as I took a sip, I exclaimed.
The unique fruity flavor of Cardu combined with the carbonation to create an explosive refreshing sensation.
I never knew that making a Carduro Highball could be this delicious.
I wanted to do it all in one shot like I did when I was filming “Jurak World,” but I held back and enjoyed it in portions for fear of surprising the guide.

In May 2021, Glenlivet, along with researchers from the University of Guelph in Canada, sent barley seeds to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX spacecraft.

Glenlivet announced its plan to "plant seeds from space, harvest them, and turn them into whisky" and erected this sign to commemorate the occasion.

I entered the visitor center at the appointed tour time.
An old gentleman with silver hair and a red tie walked briskly towards me.
Oh, that person? Yes, that's him.
It was Dennis Malcolm.
To my bewildered self, Dennis Malcolm said, “Welcome to Glen Grant.
“I will guide you today,” he said.
Dennis Malcolm, my idol and hero, personally gave me a tour of the distillery? I was literally like, "Oh my gosh."

Ian Hunter immigrates to the United States when Prohibition begins.
He hands over Laphroaig whiskey to a U.S. customs officer and applies for permission to import medicine.
The customs officer initially refused, but upon Ian Hunter's recommendation, he sniffed Laphroaig's perfume and said, "It's definitely a drug," and gave permission.
At a time when many Scottish distilleries were going under due to blockages in export routes to the United States, Laphroaig set a new sales record with this ingenious idea.

Johnny Depp is sipping wine during an interview when he asks a waiter for a straight glass of Lagavulin.
He said, “I have stopped drinking hard alcohol now, but I still order Lagavulin sometimes because of the flavor.”
After a while, he put his nose deep into the glass of Lagavulin, savored the aroma, and then, with a bright expression, blurted out, “Pete.”
This anecdote shows that Hollywood's biggest drinker, Johnny Depp, could not stand the peat scent of Lagavulin even though he had given up all other whiskeys.

Ardbeg made whisky history in 2022.
Ardbeg No. 3 cask containing whisky distilled in 1975 was sold for 16 million pounds, or about 25 billion won.
A single whiskey cask costs 25 billion won... ... It's beyond imagination.
25 billion won is obviously a world record.

Ah… … I was truly touched.
I never dreamed that I would come to faraway Isla and eat adbek with kimchi as a side dish.
I was impressed by the sincerity of the chef who had personally made kimchi and served it as a side dish, and after putting the kimchi side dish in my mouth, I took a sip of the tryban.
The intense peat of the advec and the spiciness of the kimchi swirled like a storm in my mouth.
It felt like two typhoons were meeting and colliding.

A place that revives the lost tradition of farm distilleries.
A distillery that does everything from barley cultivation to bottling.
A family-run distillery that is not part of a large corporation.
A distillery that takes pride in its whiskey above all else.
I hope that these Killhomans will not abandon their philosophy and principles in the future.
I hope that this will leave a legacy of success for the farm distillery in Scotch history.
Who knows? Kilhoman might become a giant like Springbank in a few decades.
No one really knows what's going on in the world.
