Read MoreHeard of Monkey Shoulder yet? For those out the loop, it’s a blended malt Scotch whisky with a creamy brown sugar, toffee and vanilla taste that’s balanced by oak and a hint of spice.

Read MoreA little while back my blogger bestie Karisa was invited to a Glenfiddich whisky tasting on the lawns of The Round House restaurant and I tagged along as her plus one.
