As I get older I try to drink less - but better.
More expensive doesn't always mean better - quite right about that. Johnnie Walker black is - for my taste at any rate - just about the best blend going. And if you fly a lot it's dirt cheap in the Duty Free shop.
Moses: I haven't seen the 17 year old Macallan before. In fact I usually drink the 12 - and sometimes the 18.
A few months ago a close friends father died and left an extensive whisky collection. My friend is not a whisky drinker and passed the entire collection on to me. Interestingly enough of all of the bottles I've sampled - and this will sound heretical to some - is an old bottle of Japanese Suntory. Extraordinarily round and smooth and satisfying. Quite astonishing really.
