I would say though that having joined a whisky club, learned a bit about the processes and products and recently been introduced to cask strength single malts, my appreciation and pleasure has been enhanced considerably.<BR/>As a simple bloke myself I'd have no wish to make the process more complicated and I'm wary of the pretentiousness surrounding the whole thing.<BR/>Oh aye, the alcohol - can't argue with you on that really!bigrabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00654134055046243317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704984.post-60907438556426651012007-08-22T12:48:00.000+01:002007-08-22T12:48:00.000+01:00Hey, bigrab...would any of us be as interested in ...Hey, bigrab...would any of us be as interested in whisky's complexity of taste, if it wasn't (very)alcoholic?<BR/><BR/>Actually, I think it's the simplicity of single malts, not their supposed complexity, that's the key to enjoying them.
