“Well designed blends are a true delight and well worth your attention…”I had a customer in the shop not so long ago and he came in with a certain air ……he first statement was: I don’t want any blends, because they are rubbish… How un-true! was my thought….. I have to admit that my personal preference leans toward single malts because I really like the individuality of a particular distillery….a single malt being a whisky from one source, or more accurately from one distillery.
