Having looked at the background and history of Scotch whisky two weeks ago, we now up the ante by going into the specifics. Ever wondered how much water you should add to open up a Scotch whisky? And do you know what the colour of a whisky really tells you?

In the video above, Hosie uses two Glenlivet vintages, as comparison, to answer all our questions, from the basic to the advanced, on how to truly savour Scotch whisky.
