I prefer single Malts from Scotland over North American blends. I hope Trump doesn’t screw with Scotch.
I tried for several years to like Scotch. Aged MacCallans, Balvenies, Laphroaigs... High end stuff. They sit on the shelves in my clubroom 80% still full. Bleh! Blends like Johnnie Walker Gold and Blue are okay. Remind me Hibiki. That's all I can say for spirits from Scotchland.
American bourbons are more agreeable to these tastes.
