A Tasty Scotch Melting Cup.

Here’s another Scottish tipple with a legendary ancestor it honors. Our man, William Ewart Gladstone, was a long-term Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the one who signed The Spirits Act of 1860 and allowed for the birth of Scotch Whisky as we love it.

The brand he inspires, thus part of Biggar & Leith, only uses the best blended-Whisky from the Scottish Highlands, with the intent to condense the distinctive traits of Scotch into two clear messages.
Here’s where the two Scotch styles The Gladstone Axe employs come into action. There’s the American Oak Whisky and The Black Axe.

The American Oak Whisky is carefully crafted from 100% malted barley, and various Single Malts from Islay and the Highlands matured in ex-Bourbon barrels. It hits the shelves at 41% ABV in a pretty spectacular bottle. It hits the taste buds with sweet mellowness and a lil’ kick. Make sure you try one, mate!

First-class Whiskies are taxed not only by the state but also by the angels. This refers to the 4% of Whisky that evaporates from the barrels every year, a phenomenon known as the angel’s share.
Whisky distilling goes way back to 1494 when the first recorded batch was made by a posse of monks who acquired about 60 gallons of barley and decided to turn it into "aqua vitae". They created the first 1,500 bottles of Scotch in History.
90% of all Scotch Whiskies sold are Blends.
Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
