All the same, nobody can prevent us looking round the various malt distilleries which give the individual tastes which we sometimes can recognize in the blended bottles, and even on occasion and by favor (for the great blenders leave very few “single” whiskies for the connoisseur) picking up a lone bottle for evening sampling with chosen friends. This you will hoard, and treat as carefully as you would an authentically old fine champagne from Cognac—certainly, you will dole it out far more miserlily than you would any of the commercial liqueurs.
