Because your mother raised you right!

Fact is, de gustubus non disputandum. Funny, I always think of the Glen as being pretty tame compared to the Islay malts, but you find it smoother. The peaty flavor is too much for some, but I love it myself. Who can say?

Anyway, a friend of mine once said that if you will buy a bottle of scotch and drink the whole bottle (not at one time, mind you), you'll be a scotch drinker when it's gone.

And one other thing, every malt if different from the rest. They are each unique due to the difference in peats, processing, local waters, etc. You're about 2 brands into a life time of adventure if you decide to give 'em all a whirl.

What a way to spend one's life! About a 9.9 on the 10-oint fun meter.
