Taste of Life embarks on an epicurean adventure to sample the essence of the highlands of Scotland! We visit the Glenfiddich distillery where, for five generations, some of Scotland's finest single malt scotch whiskies have been produced. Small directly fired copper stills produce a fine distillate, and then aging of these young spirits in handcrafted oak casks contributes to Glenfiddich's unique single malt characteristics. And despite increased demand from around the world this 100-year-old tradition has never been compromised. The history and process of making a great single malt scotch is explored with Glenfiddich's Chief Guide David Mair and we are shown how to properly savor scotch's many unique flavor characteristics. The making of a fine single malt Scotch whisky is a curious combination of new technology combined with the skill of expert craftsmen. Executive Chef Bruce Woods creates three exceptional dishes that all rely on scotch's unique character to transform them into a culinary delight and our guest chef from Australia - Christine Manfield demonstrates how to pair fine food with single malt.
