    So wrong, so wrong, so wrong!

    "The Beaverton" is a satire site, so don't lose it entirely. https://www.thebeaverton.com/2016/06...stes-the-same/

    Yep, Varnish Charcoal says it all.

    Sort of like Girly Frilly. When you can sum up something with just two words, you have achieved linguistic purity

    What utter nonsense. There are dramatic differences between some of them. Cardhu tastes hotel lobby bar smoothie-smooth and Talisker tastes like the aftermath of an out-of-control peat fire. I suppose that if "Scotch" is referring to the blended tuff, there is a certain sameness to a lot (but not all) of it. Cutty Sark ain't Teachers.

    Bagpiper from India might taste the same as No-Name from Tescos or an STP fuel additive, I suppose.
    Those ancient U Nialls from Donegal were a randy bunch.

    Yes. I did say that the Beaverton is satire. They love to poke other people's fires just to watch the sparks go up.

    My wife loves the taste of single malt. I describe it as licking a telephone pole.

    Let the sparks fly.

    Not something I will be sharing with the guests on my distillery tours...

    Although I will be using 'smokey-burny' for everything - just to see if they are paying attention!!

    It’s all a matter of individual taste Steve. I recall your comment at a Kilt Kamp, after tasting the bottle I brought, but some of us enjoy the taste of
    “Smoky burny” ( present fave being Smoke Head ;0)

    Mea Culpa ...

    Nothing lost, old friend. I'm not always the brightest candle in the Menorah either!

    I got drunk on whisky once and can't actually drink it these days, but smelling it causes my sensitive senses to go into overdrive.

    One of the attendees at the folkclub in waiting at the moment is a whisky collector, and has many different types, some only mildly reactive others possibly illegal under the Geneva Convention.

    The other people at the club drink the various types in reverential silence - I don't know how they manage that.
