Lower East Side Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
Brand: Lower East Side | Category: Blended Malt Scotch | ABV: 40% | Origin: Scotland | Vol: 75cl

Intro/Heritage:
Born in the Borders of Scotland and inspired by the creative pulse of urban life, Lower East Side is whisky for the modern thinker, rebellious, refined, and ready to break tradition. It’s the kind of bottle you find behind the bar of a speakeasy where art meets grit, and every pour has a purpose. Scottish soul, city swagger.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Fresh and forward, red berries, lemon peel, and a dash of smoke from a distant bonfire. Light and vibrant, like morning in the city.
Palate: Mellow but expressive. Toasted grain, apple skin, and soft vanilla glide through a silky mouthfeel. Balanced and easy, but never boring.
Finish: Clean and crisp. A subtle touch of malted biscuit and a flash of spice that snaps like the last note in a jazz solo.

Production Details:
A blend of six single malts from across Scotland, each bringing its own accent, character, and edge. Crafted by The Borders Distillery, it’s chill-filtered and bottled at 40% ABV for ultimate versatility. This is Scotch designed to move, from neat pour to highball to cocktail base, effortlessly.

Perfect For:
Urban evenings, rooftop hangouts, or that first drink that sets the tone. It’s your whisky for vinyl records, dim lighting, and spontaneous debates about music, books, or bourbon vs. Scotch.

Expert Notes:
While technically a newcomer, Lower East Side punches well above its weight, praised for its modern balance and mixability. It's often the bottle bartenders keep close for creative builds and casual sessions alike.

Customer Reviews:
🗨️ “Chill, smooth, and surprisingly complex. My weeknight go-to.”
🗨️ “Feels like the whisky equivalent of a jazz lounge — relaxed but clever.”
🗨️ “I was skeptical at first, now I’m telling everyone to try it.”

Interesting Fact:
Despite its name, this whisky is 100% Scottish, the name “Lower East Side” is a nod to New York’s cultural melting pot, where boundaries blur and rules are rewritten.

Serving Suggestions:
Neat or in a highball with premium soda and a grapefruit twist. Try it in a Rob Roy or a Penicillin for a modern take on classic cocktails. This one plays well with others and still holds its own.

Distillery Background:
The Borders Distillery, Scotland’s first in the Borders region since 1837, crafts whisky with bold character and modern vision. They’ve made a name by doing things differently, blending tradition with innovation, just like the whisky they bottle.
