Time to spell out some th usual pointers....
- Whisky = Scottish, no other country should call it whisky (minor exceptions)
- Whiskey = from a nywhere else, mostly US an Ireland
- Hence, Irish stuff spelt whiskey
- Cheap whisky or whiskey can be mixed freely
- Real Whisky, and the best whiskeys should never ever be mixed with anything apart from pure spring water.
- Never, ever, ever add ice to malt whisky, it imparts the delicate flavour
- Single malt is the good stuff, but don't waste you time with £8-15 bottles, Famouse grouse would be better to mix or drink!
- Blends are made from a mix of different malt whiskies and mostly grain spirit which is cheap to make
- Glen Fiddich is NOT a good whisky....
