Now, from Falkland, Fife \u2013 the birthplace of Scotch whisky over 530 years ago \u2013 to the heart of Dallas, Saltire\u2019s arrival is more than an expansion. It is a cultural meeting of equals: Scotland\u2019s rarest malts joining one of America\u2019s most celebrated steakhouse names.<\/p>\n<p>Keith Rennie, Founder &amp; Director, Saltire Rare Malt mentioned, \u201cWe are honored to launch Saltire Rare Malt in the United States, beginning in Dallas \u2014 a city whose steakhouses are as iconic as Scotch whiskey itself. Great whiskey and great steak share the same values: heritage, craftsmanship, patience, and passion. This partnership celebrates those values together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This will be the exclusive single malt featured at the steakhouse.
