Italy’s love of single malt | Scotch Whisky

Italy’s love of single malt | Scotch Whisky

Ostensibly a wine-drinking nation – with a splash of grappa or Campari on the side – Italy became the world’s biggest consumer of single malt Scotch during the 1970s. How did that come about – and can Scotch scale those heights again in the future? Tom Bruce-Gardyne reports.

Here's a bottle and an honest friend
What wad ye wish for mair, man?
Wha kens, before his life may end,
What his share may be o' care, man?

Then catch the moments as they fly,
And use them as ye ought, man:
Believe me, happiness is shy,
And comes not aye when sought, man.
