We’re mixing the Barn Door #2 with five types of blended scotch whisky: Johnnie Walker Black Label, Chivas Regal, Dewar’s “White Label,” Cutty Sark and Scoresby’s Very Rare. The recipe brings a bit of orange while maintaining enough of the blended scotch whisky to make it possible to find the differences.
We’re tasting five scotch whisky brands, all but one are 12-year old blended scotch. One lonely one is a 36-month old blended scotch known as Scoresby’s.

The brands on the table include: Johnnie Walker Black, Chivas Regal, Dewar’s “White Label,” Cutty Sark and Scoresby’s Very Rare Whisky.
