What's that, you say? Post more examples of ridiculous pandering to Americans by Scottish companies? Delighted you asked! "Drambuie. Because kilts, parkour and mid '90s garage house." The ice ball maker is, I'm reasonably certain, Japanese in origin. They've always been weird about ice. Back before their economy crashed they used to import the shit from glaciers in Greenland because it had no bubbles. I can't speak to Macallan and its cringes; I wonder if they're pandering to the Japanese because they're one of the few distilleries that the Chinese haven't snapped up. I used to drink Laphroag because my dad did and it was cheap - about half as much as MacAllan. Now it's double. That's all Beijing bourgeoisie.
