Well I\'ve read both links and enjoyed them equally. Both giving a nice, well explained \"outline\" to Scotch whiskies.
Some of the bits of info, I\'d already read elsewhere. Some if it is new to me and some just clarifies other stuff......
I\'ve been priviledged enough to be able to try a few single malts, though most of them are well out of my price range (ha! as are the brandies that I find I prefer).
There\'s still a lot of shit spoken about any of the \"premium\" spirits though, and I\'m pretty convinced that a lot of that is so that \"they\" can bleed us dry for a few quid more than is really necessary. Plus, to get themselves a bit more exclusivity etc etc etc.
We might be able to get such drinks cheaper if only the government would allow the wholesale execution of marketing, PR and branding \"experts\" ;-D
Hey ho!

I like that one Jimmy as I now realise that I am a far better man than I Realised,
\"The man who drinks scotch is one who lives life to the hilt, savoring new challenges and discoveries on a daily basis. He doesnâ€™t settle and he doesnâ€™t drink something just because itâ€™s there.\"
