Is there a better day to celebrate all things Scottish than St. Andrew’s Day, or a better way to celebrate all things Scottish than with a St Andrew’s Day scotch? We don’t think so – but yet, in recent years, St. Andrew’s Day seems to have fallen out of favour. It doesn’t have the raucous […]
As Thanksgiving fast approaches, it’s time to start thinking about the most important part of the meal – the alcohol. And if you’re thinking of grabbing a nice bottle of red or a crate of beer, we’ve got some great news for you – whisky pairs incredibly well with almost every Thanksgiving food you can […]
On this blog, we’re a little guilty of writing for an audience of people who have been drinking, loving and cherishing whisky for years. And, although we try to avoid falling into the pit of whisky elitism wherever possible, we have noticed that whenever we recommend a bottle of whisky, it’s complex, elegant and takes […]
If you’re an avid reader of the Whisky Foundation blog, you’ll know that this is the third in a series of blog posts that explore the people behind our favourite whiskies – the independent bottlers. Last month, we took a look at Kingsbury (and the month before, Signatory Vintage). This month, we shove Wemyss Malts […]

Read this aloud in your best voice-over voice: Captain William Grant arrived back from the military to continue life as […]

Remember a couple of weeks ago we said that we were going to start a new series of blog posts about writers and their love of whisky? Well here it is. This Authors and Whisky series is going to look at writers (and musicians, artists and anybody in the public eye, really) and their love of the […]
Here at Whisky Foundation, we’re often a little guilty of focusing on all things Scottish (and, on occasion, American), but the international independent scene is vibrant and innovative, and deserves attention. So, this week, we’re going to start a new series of blog posts that look at independent bottling scenes from around the world. […]
We know, we know. We’re a whisky blog. What are we doing writing a whole post about beer? Well, whisky and beer are kindred spirits. Cousins, you could say. (And beer aged in a Scotch cask is even closer in spirit to whisky.) And, of course, we’ve spoken (lots of times) before the link […]
A few weeks ago, we told you about a few of our favourite whiskies in the Whisky Foundation store: Rest and Be Thankful bottlings. But this week, we’ve got news that’s even more exciting: we’ve got some incredible new independent bottlings available. And we can’t wait to share them with you – we’ve been […]
