Scotch Tasting in Scotland - Day 1

Owners Bill and Patty have flown off to Scotland to hand-select some of the best scotches for the store.

They arrived on Monday, where they settled into Drummuir Castle (pictured). They went for a walk around the property and then headed back for a fabulous dinner in the castle's dining hall.

Check out the picture of the library in the castle. It's filled with an array of scotch from every area, including distilleries that have been closed or cannot be sold in the U.S.
