Whisky has been the most appreciated liquor for many years. With its delicate flavours and attractive smokiness, more and more drinkers consider it an essential element to their style of living. Similar to wine, whiskies can also be distinguished by different regions, aging periods, and types of malt/grain. Even if you know nothing about whisky, you might have heard of “Scotch whisky”, “single malt”, “Highland”, etc., just like those “Pinot Noir”, “Bordeaux” and “full body” when it comes to wine. And yes, Scotland is no doubt the home of whisky.

威士忌多年來一直是最受讚賞的烈酒，憑藉其精緻的風味和誘人的煙熏味，越來越多人視威士忌為生活態度。就像紅酒般，威士忌也有不同的地區、陳年期、材料等。即使您對威士忌一無所知，您也可能聽說過 “Scotch Whisky”、“Single Malt”、“Highland” 等，就像不會飲紅酒的人也會聽過“Pinot Noir”，“Bordeaux”和“Full body”。而蘇格蘭亦無疑是威士忌之鄉。

When you choose a whisky, you need to understand what kind of flavours you are looking for. Single Malt Scotch Whisky is highly appreciated among whisky lovers but it doesn’t mean you’ll like it. Just like wine, there are so many choices. For example, Highland whiskies are usually spicy and smokey while Lowland whiskies are often more floral and light. So if you prefer Pinot Noir over Shiraz, then you should probably try a Lowland instead of Highland.

選擇威士忌時，您需要了解你喜歡甚麼口味。Single Malt 蘇格蘭威士忌是最受追捧的一種，但並不代表你會喜歡。就像紅酒一樣，選擇其實很多。例如，Highland的威士忌通常較辛辣而重煙熏味，Lowland的威士忌則比較多花香和輕盈。所以，如果你不愛Shiraz只愛Pinot Noir，那就應該嘗試Lowland威士忌。

On the other hand, whiskies with added flavours are getting more popular as our drinking culture is getting more casual. I have tried a Scotish whisky with added honey and it was absolutely wonderful. Another good example is Broken Heart’s Spiced Whisky. It is a Scotish Single Malt Whisky with added Spices for favourings. It’s a smooth whisky with festive spicy flavours, definitely a must try!

另一方面，隨著我們的飲酒文化越來越隨意，添加了口味的威士忌也越來越受歡迎。我曾經嘗試過加蜂蜜的蘇格蘭威士忌，味道一流。另一個推介的是 Broken Heart Spiced Whisky，是加了香料的蘇格蘭Single Malt威士忌，帶有充滿節日氣氛的香料味道，絕對值得一試！
