📜 History

The Scotch Highball, also known as Scotch and Soda, emerged in late 19th century England and became fashionable in America by 1900. Japanese bartenders elevated the highball to an art form, perfecting the technique with meticulous attention to ice quality and carbonation. It remains one of the purest ways to appreciate good Scotch whisky.
