It's important to learn as much as you possibly can about the things you put into your body — especially the things you put in your body as much as scotch.
So in that spirit, when Marc Ecko invited Business Insider to a tasting of his favorite whiskeys to celebrate the launch of his new fashion line, Marc Ecko Cut and Sew, we were only too happy to accept.
Ecko served up a bunch of spirits, our favorites being an awesome Highland Park 18 Year — a single malt Scotch of the highest quality.
'Single malt' is not a term that you can just throw around. Our whiskey guide for the evening explained that a single malt scotch must be made with 51% barley (the rest can be any grain you like). It must come from a single distillery and go through one single distillation.
The spirit is then aged in old Bourbon or Spanish sherry casks — these casks give the spirit its color.
Knowledge is power.
