Scotch Whisky Hats

Scotch drinkers are a different tribe from the bourbon crowd, and their reviews have a language of their own. On scotchaddict, a Laphroaig 10 drinker says it smells like a campfire, there's no mistaking it, and another calls it chewing on charcoal wrapped in a band-aid. A reviewer of Ardbeg Uigeadail, a whisky where water is commonly added, writes that they taste nothing but Band-Aids, while the same threads include the verdict I now LOVE this whisky. That love for the medicinal side of peat is exactly what I DRINK SCOTCH THAT TASTES LIKE A BAND-AID wears as a boast, and PEAT MONSTER and PEATED NOT DEFEATED are for the smoke loyalists. Medicinal is an Islay generalisation, not a rule, and forum drinkers note that non-Islay malts like Benriach and Benromach can be smoky too. Then there is the angels' share: about two percent of the liquid in a Scotch cask is lost to evaporation as it ages, according to VinePair, the fact behind THE ANGELS TAKE THEIR SHARE I TAKE THE REST. The badges SCOTCH and SINGLE MALT name the drink, WEE DRAM keeps the pour small, and CASK STRENGTH comes arched. The band-aid and angels' share lines each get a second colorway. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for your own glass, or give one to the dad or grandpa who already owns the bottle.
