In my younger days, I had a peculiar reaction to Scotch, and other Whiskeys. After an evening of drinking such spirits, I'd awaken with bruised, sore knuckles and, occasionally, an eye swollen shut.
Since growing older and a bit wiser, Single Malt makes me introspective.
The other day, I bought the least expensive single malt in the liquor store, McClellands Highland. I’m talking $22 compared to $33, $42, $56, or even $78 . . . for 750ml.
Turns out, I like the taste of it even better than the other single malts I’ve had. There’s a hint of sweetness in there that I find interesting.
