I believe I remember reading recently that whiskey sales in the US were not projected to increase. This looks like a response to that, much the way that Gin distillers have been introducing flavored gins to try to take back ground from the huge increase in vodka sales.

Though if I want flavored scotch I'll have a Rusty Nail*

Cheers







* if you don't know what a Rusty Nail is you really need to consider spending some quality time at X Marks the Scot's sister site THe Pub.
