Boy; we are all stepping into this trap...audiospeak. A good single malt; thats darned good! As compared to say; Grey Goose or Jack D? Or Johnny Walker Blue? Ever try that vintage? Little too rich for my taste but I have sampled; 9.00$ a shot. MaCallams is my fav. And Bushmills. Which I guess isn't a Scotch really. Ever see how they make it? In those old barns dug in pits under the peat to age? They need a certain peat from a particular location for the fires too. And they think we are obsessive... Sorry I broke my own rule of staying on topic.
