    Maybe I’m not the right person to have started the conversation I guess. I’ve got a 500€ bottle of single barrel Scotch here, and a lot of her lesser sisters. This rhymes to a less insane degree with gin, rum, tequila and various European fruit distillations. Then there’s the wine, and since I’ve been friend-dopted by my best vineyard owners, this game has improved a lot as well.

    I do enjoy stuff like this, and it’s quite a journey to find what you’re into.

    For a mixer I wouldn’t go into so much detail, of course.

      Two things.

      Americans don’t produce anything as good as a single malt scotch.

      Scotland would never spontaneously shred their international reputation the way America has, so international scotch sales will be safe in perpetuity.

      • We absolutely do make competitors that rival Scottish single malt, we just don’t copy them. I understand it’s fashionable to shit on everything American but you would do well to avoid sinking into outright bigotry

          You make nothing that rivals Scottish single malt.

          You would do well to avoid tone policing. concentrate more on domestic sales, to compensate for the international sales that you’re never getting back.

            You realize you are speaking to a person right? Again, sliding into actual bigotry where you’re hate blinds you to reality. We have several distilleries, most in blue states mind you, that compete and even win against Scottish single malts
