Happy Robbie Burns Night! To celebrate we gathered a crew of ELLE Canada staffers for a little Scotch 101 lesson with Dewar’s North American ambassador, Gabriel Cardarella.

Important topics covered: The correct spelling of “whiskey”; whether it’s okay to put water in your neat dram; how not to look like a tourist in Scotland; how to look like a weirdo at the bar. 

Slainte!
