It is said that the acquisition
of knowledge on any subject that you are interested in only increases your
appreciation for it. This can easily be
said about the finest of scotches as well.
There seems to be a trend
building with aficionados flocking the rolling country sides in Scotland just
to sneak a sample of the gold they seek. As one must experience to appreciate,
it appears that this is a task for the strong willed in this subject.
One could imagine many trips
booked from abroad flocking Scotland’s coastlines in search of the malt that
has only been heard of and not been tasted. This is not merely just a trend, to
Scotch enthusiast, it is rather a mission. To be experienced in the fine
subtleties of these malts and blended scotch whiskies is to many a dream. Some
could not even imagine the soft roll that many of these great spirits have to
offer to the tongue.
Spending time with true
connoisseurs of scotch and single malts gives you valuable insight as to what
to look for in a full bodied fine scotch. They have made it a life ambition to
seek out and test what the worlds finest has to offer. Many of these great
spirits of course are not easily obtainable some run very steep in price and
are on the wish list of some of the great testers of fine scotch everywhere.
Generally they have first dibs, as the company will wait in anticipation for a
vote of confidence and endorsement.
So too are the batches that are
still maturing that so many people are waiting for with absolute excitement.
Given the time it takes for some of these blends to reach an acceptable
maturity where it will be appreciated it is only natural that many testers keep
close tabs on the process and look for hints of up and coming blends that can
be comparable.
As many professional testers
will state, the best of the best still and most likely will always come from
Scotland as they have mastered this art with a precision and dedication second
to none. Testers will admit when they have stumbled on a gem from another
country but honestly have not found that diamond in the rough all that many
times.
So instead they give honest and
professional opinions to the public, the benders, and distillers themselves,
taking into account how harsh possible poor media coverage can be.
