Well, here's two things that I don't think has been addressed in this thread yet:
1) Virtually all commercially-produced liquor that has a flavor and isn't single cask is blended. The no-age-label is blended, the 16 is blended. The difference is in what they're blended with and how much.
2) Every study done of wine tasting involving brain scans shows that expectation modifies how taste is interpreted. So yes, to you, it totally did taste better, but not because it necessarily was better, from an objective standpoint. And at a certain level that'll be based purely on personal preference anyway.
- tptacek 10y agoThat's ridiculous. The difference between a strong sherry finish and a weak one is unmistakeable. It's like saying my brain is playing tricks on me when I say I can tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi. Put the A'bunadh and the 16 Sherry in front of me blindfolded. I'll identify them every time. People who make this wine comparison presumably don't drink much whiskey.
