Then, when I got to America in , I was working in Irish pubs. I was always enthusiastic about selling Scotch while bartending—that's the economic patriot in me! When I started Caledonia in January of , I went all out in getting people to try Scotch from all the different distilleries. Why do you think Scotch is still seen as an older man's drink? It's always had that reputation for a couple of reasons: It's relatively expensive and younger people either can't afford a lot of it or want a cheaper way to get drunk.
It takes a while to develop a palate for, too, so it's harder to appreciate at first. Yet your bar is packed with twenty- and thirtysomethings drinking single malt. Well, obviously most of them just want to be my friend!

So, what does drinking scotch every day do to your body? Well, you'll want to keep on reading. In a study sponsored, in part, by the Scotch Whisky Research Institute, researchers at the Rowan Research Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland, tested wine ; a year-old, cask-aged malt whisky; and a newly-distilled whisky to determine the health benefits of each, BBC News reported.
In the end, the researchers found that both red wine and aged whisky "[raised] the body's level of antioxidants," which, in turn, "helped to protect against coronary heart disease.
The study also found that those who drank the aged whisky as opposed to the wine were able to absorb more phenols, a beneficial chemical that helps protect against heart disease. Other types of alcohol have also been found to protect against heart disease, the researchers noted in their study, but the news about whisky is nevertheless exciting. Hanson in discovered that people who drink one to two servings of whiskey every day halved their chances of having a stroke in old age via Canadian Pharmacy King.

They discovered that instead of throwing away their harvest both grains could not survive long storage thru the cold and wet climate they can make it to ale.
Later they realize turning the ale to alcohol can even make their returns better. The whisky distillation in Scotland continued since then.
