I don't mind admitting that in my approaching 60 years of abusing my body, my taste buds have suffered.
Equally, I am still able to appreciate a fine Malt over a blend,even a good one, so do not think that all hope is lost.
My current method of cutting my standard sugar neutral by numbers, and the occasional taste seems to work.
Where I struggle is when I try something a little more "specialised" but it is all for the fun.
Isn't it?

So coming back to the questions asked in the posts above, where are you cutting tails?
I stop collecting from a sugar wash at 30%.
And the tails will have started at around 50% or higher.
