Much of our lives is spent with the ordinary. We rise to our alarm clocks; we shower and dress; we eat our breakfast and go to work. A busy day ensues, and in the late evening, we retire.

Such experiences lead us beyond the merely ordinary into the special, the extra-ordinary. These are remarkable experiences that are savored and that become objects of fond memories. Such, for both Waymack and Harris, is the experience of single-malt Scotch whisky.
