SPIRITS OF THE GAME By AZ Golf Insider Staff
< A toast to the Scots Live out at least one part of your Old Course fantasy by hoisting a glass of Glen Scotia Victoriana single malt Scotch whisky after your next round. The dark, brooding yet smooth Scotch conjures images of St. Andrews as you savor its clean, sweet oakiness. Victoriana’s big mid-palate leads to a sweet, delicious finish that becomes more austere with a splash of water.

< Loch it up Master cooper Tommy Wallace chooses just the right barrels to age Loch Lomond 18-year-old single malt Scotch, a silver-medal winner at the 2016 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. It takes almost two decades to extract all the sweetness and smoke of the wood, a tradition instilled in the six Celtic clans surrounding Loch Lomond for the past 400 years. That includes the area’s most famous resident, Loch Lomond Golf Club, which hosted the Scottish Open from 2001 to 2010. Nuanced hints of peat also take you back to the Solheim Cup in 2000, which was held at Loch Lomond.
