This can't be right...

[Ian.MacAllan]

. . . if you read the article they describe the whisky in question as single malt whiskey, not single malt scotch. , , ,

Forrester definitely has it right, and I would paraphrase and strengthen his further statement thus: "If anyone is calling it "Japanese Scotch" it is certainly that person and not the distillery nor the stores that is at fault."

I'm sure there is some Scotch-only competitions.

I guess if all whisky is lumped together, Scotch may not fare well. It is rather unique, but that's why I like it.

Give Finlaggan a try. Much less expensive and to my taste is very similar to Lagavulin.

Thanks for the advice. I know the name of my next bottle!

I am a Tobermory, Auchentoshan, and Aberlour man myself. Those just happen to be the ones that get out of the cupboard most often, leaving their many mates (30+ other bottles) a bit envious, in addition to the several fine Irish whiskys.

I am not allowed to drink a lot, so I make up for quantity with quality. And variety.
