Believe it or not, there are some folks out there (sick, sad folks) that prefer a blended to a single malt. Now, I was never quite one of those people back in the days when I could drink, but I did have a favorite blend, and it's actually one of the least expensive in the states- Clan MacGregor. I remember one day about five years ago somebody trying to get me to buy a bottle of Dewar's-I rounded on them and told them that if I was going to spend that much on a bottle it would damn well be a single malt. (At the liquor store we were at, a bottle of Dewar's was almost as much as a young Laphroaig!! And the Laph was almost untouched and had dust on it, while the Dewars was clean and sparkly like it had just been put out that day. Sick, sad world....)

Granted, I do enjoy my single malt....but then again, I've never met a scotch I didn't like! No need to justify drinking a blend. If you enjoy, that's all that matters.

I agree. My collection is 95% single malts, but there are many times when I prefer a blend.
