1. That just means you've not tried the "right" one yet...

I might have a bit of Jura and a variety of Bruichladdich (Islay Barley 2006) though.

We also have some House of Commons Number 1 12yo, though that is of course not a single malt.
That's fine, I'm keeping back some of my "finer" ones, and I'm sure Jim will do the same with some of the Laird's Collection, and I don't think we'll be too elitist about it - I might also bring some Irish and a very nice American Bourbon for comparison purposes. That's part of the beauty of having a big car with a big boot..

Good! - I'm sure the negotiations will go well...

I just hope it's not the same with whiskey as wine because I find the cheaper the wine the better taste.
Not sure it's the same with whisky. Certainly a malt whisky - almost any of them - is a very different drink from a (cheaper) blended one. Chacun a son gout, as they say….
