Whisky and golf…forever intertwined

Many of our clients travel to Scotland and invariably ask about “Scotch” whisky tasting or visits to distilleries. Jeff Wallach takes a fun look at the inextricable connection between two of Scotland’s great exports;


On the Supernatural Connection Between Scotch and Golf
