Depending which way you look at it, I am fortunate or unfortunate to have a Scottish mother who appreciates fine Malts ..
... and who knows my preference for a fine Speyside over a spadeful of liquified peat presented in bottle format.. a la the stuff from the northern Isles
Unfortunately, a while back, my mum splashed out and bought me a bottle of 18 year old Macallan for Christmas. Ahh .. nectar .. but which rendered just about every other bottle of malt in our house virtually undrinkable because what had previously been great suddenly tasted like soap compared to The Macallan
