VINTAGE Summer Whiskies

Just as nature nudges us from warming stews to zesty salads, or snug cashmere scarves to cool cotton chinos, so too she encourages a refreshing gear change in our drinks repertoire.

Take a trip to Scotland in December and it doesn’t take a great stretch of the imagination to see why whisky caught on so successfully in this part of the world. This is a drink whose entire image is evocatively intertwined with roaring fires, cigars and cosy tartan interiors. You can almost hear the wind whistling outside.

But that doesn’t mean you should hide your single malt collection away as soon as the daffodils start to poke through.
