"  Ever wonder what whiskey-industry insiders are drinking around the holidays? Us, too. Eat Like a Man&amp;#039;s 12 Days of Whiskey asks the craft&amp;#039;s most respected master distillers what bottles are on their holiday wish lists. We hereby kick off our twelve days of whiskey \u2014 in which twelve of the industry&amp;#039;s most highly-regarded master distillers name their most-loved bottles \u2014 with Alan Winchester, distiller of The Glenlivet and friend of Eat Like a Man. Winchester was born, raised, educated, and now lives in Scotland&amp;#039;s distillery-rich Spey Valley, which in itself qualifies him to be choosing your holiday bottle. He has also worked for over three decades in the Scotch industry, and, in his current role as master distiller of The Glenlivet, is responsible for blending and overseeing one of our shelf-staple single malts: the sweet, slightly spicy, always smooth Glenlivet 18. Winchester tells us his most-wanted bottle this Christmas is Aberlour A&amp;#039;bunadh, a single-cask whisky made in the Speyside town where he grew up. The chestnut-brown spirit is aged in Oloroso sherry butts and bottled without chill filtering at cask strength. It tastes of dark chocolate, black cherries, and ginger. &amp;quot;A&amp;#039;bunadh is natural, straight from the cask, with the influence of sherry,&amp;quot; says Winchester. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a lovely dram on a cold winter night. Warm, and rich.&amp;quot; Tomorrow: Aberlour&amp;#039;s Neal Corbett names his bottle of choice. Aberlour A&amp;#039;bunadh, $79.97; Astor Wines &amp;amp;amp; Spirits "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
