One of the beauties of whiskys and whiskeys is that they are so varied but you won’t like them all.
Went to a great whisky shop in Pitlochry that had many hundreds of them.
While I was in the area, I also went to the Blair Athol Distillery (home of Bells). Now I’m not a Bells fan, but when you did the distillery trip in the old days, they tell you about the 37 (I think that’s the number) of single malts that go into Bells and you got your wee dram at the end of the trip. Both me and the Mrs chose different single malts, hoping that we could find something good to take home. What was a huge surprise was that they both tasted like Bells. As a result, we necked them and went to the Glenturret Distillery in Creif. Now that is a whisky or rather was, not had any since it was taken over by the Grouse people.
As for how I drink mine, with a drop of water or ice if it’s whiskey.
Think I might have to go home and wake up my taste buds!!
Sorry, I forget to mention, if you want a great blended, try Chevas Regal.
