…Ruby menu since it open in 2007. It's a Manhattan riff featuring 2 parts Talisker Scotch, 1 part Pedro Ximinez sherry and a dash of Richard, which is used like bitters in this case. It's a simple, silky, sweet drink, but complex in taste. The ingredients almost war with one another, but stop just short. Instead, you get an ever-intriguing interplay of flavors.
I preferred my second choice, the 866, an on-the-rocks sipper made up Dild Aquavit, Campari, Grapefruit juice…
Standing by the sea with a glass of Talisker 18 year old in hand, the faint taste of seaweed rolled around my mouth and it was difficult to tell where it ended, the salty seaweed tang of the sea air seemed to swirl around my glass both inside and out. We were standing by the [...]

Just in time for the holidays artisanal Scotch whisky blender John Glaser has released a stunning limited edition vatted malt to commemorate the 10 th anniversary of his tiny company.
Obsessed with quality, and the cost be dammed, Glasser carries his philosophy to a whole new level with this magnificent dram - it's an intensely concentrated, subtly yet deeply complex whisky.
