Hidden London: Latimer House
Why did the prisoners talk? Because Kendrick did not rough them up, but appealed to their egos. The Germans were subject to phony interrogations before making it to the house; the British made sure to appear inept. With their defences down, Kendrick laid on the star treatment. The house had its own invented aristocrat, Lord Aberfeldy, who cosied up to the generals, taking them for walks around the grounds, stopping at mic'd-up bushes. Puffed up by the idea a lord had been sent to look after them, Hitler's top men became careless.

This New Whisky Series Sources Lesser-Known Single Malts for Serious Scotch Collectors
There is so much whiskey and whisky out there to choose from, so it's notable when something comes along from a lesser known distillery that you likely haven't had a chance to try before (or haven't even heard of). These often come in the form of releases from independent bottlers who source barrels from various distilleries and release them as single-cask expressions. Case in point is a new series of eight bottles from American independent bottler Single Cask Nation, which turned to some unfamiliar scotch distilleries to come up with a lineup for hardcore whisky collectors. Single Cask Nation was founded in 2011 by Jason Johnstone-Yellin and Joshua Hatton. The company has focused on single malt scotch from distilleries like Aberfeldy, Caol Ila, and Glen Moray, but there have also been some interesting expressions from American distilleries like Catoctin Creek, Westland, and MGP, as well as an Australian rye and a couple of rums. 'Independent bottling is a longtime tradition in Scotland—one that gave rise to the global fascination and reputation of single malt whisky itself many now take for granted,' said Hatton in a statement. 'These eight bottlings highlight distilleries many people are not familiar with, but should be. Add to this, some of the cask maturation we've focused on with these releases helps to broaden the array of flavors in remarkable ways. There's a flavor ride here for any and all interested whisky lovers.'

Whisky fans may be familiar with some of these names, but a few of them could use a little explanation. Ruadh Mhor is a label used by the Glenturret Distillery for its peated malts, and this whisky should appeal to fans of Ledaig, Croftengea, or younger Craigellachie according to the Single Cask Nation notes. Pluscarden Abbey is not the name of a distillery at all—Single Cask Nation is not at liberty to reveal which one produced this whisky, but it is a Speyside single malt. And Auchroisk is a Diageo distillery that once bottled whisky under the Singleton name, but now mostly produces whisky that is used in the J&B blend (this is said to be a favorite of the Single Cask Nation team). This new Single Cask Nation collection will available starting in March, prices ranging from $110 to $150 per bottle, at select retailers around the country. You can also find some previous releases available to purchase from websites like ReserveBar and Total Wine.
