Whisky / Whiskey / Bourbon

True, but for £25/30 I'd always go for a single malt over a blend, but to each their own.

Another lesser known single malt which is quite light and smooth is the Springbank 10, they've got a distillers edition out which is really tasty too. yum.

you realise you can get 25yo blends... all the whisky is at least 25 years old. There are some very nice blends out there, don't dismiss it just cause it's not a single malt
