Get him lagavoulin 16 or any ardberg to see him cough on super smoked whiskey

Depends on how ugly his wife to be is. If she's ugly you should probably go with a cheaper option but more volume, instead of 1 bottle of JW Blue get like 5 bottles of Jameson.

It’s arguably one of the (if not *the*) most well-known and commonly available of its product type. That automatically makes it bad, because you can’t try to appear special for buying/drinking it.

Single malt =/= single barrel.
Your single malt is still a mix of multiple batches of product.

I’ve always wondered about that; how many casks of whiskey is a distillery allowed to make before it suddenly turns bad?
I bet distilleries would pay good money for that info so they’d know when to halt production for the year.

the overwhelming majority of barley used in scottish whisky production comes from france.

the moment individual barrels are not being inspected for quality before dumping spirit in them is the moment quality takes a nosedive
this applies to all diageo products

>>15783549
shut the fuck up retard
>Most of the barley used in Scotch whisky production is grown on the Scottish and English easy coasts where the light sandy soils and lower rainfall provide ideal growing conditions. Spring barley is typically sown from December until late April due to being fairly frost-sensitive, it is sown later in Scotland than in the more clement areas of England.

Anon, if you think Scotland can even remotely grow enough barley to provide the whisky industry with enough grain then you're the one being retarded. You read three articles on whisky and now you're trying to be a smart ass on a Mongolian basket weaving forum.

I bought a guy a bottle of caol isla 18 for his housewarming party and he later told me it tastes great with orange juice and ice. i still don't know whether he did this out of pure plebdom or because he low key hated me. needless to say we're not friends anymore.
