Interesting article, but way too many of the statements from the whiskey "experts" sound like they knew what they were drinking when they formed their opinions.

Interesting article, but way too many of the statements from the whiskey "experts" sound like they knew what they were drinking when they formed their opinions. There were no blind taste tests mentioned. I spend way too much money on Scotch and Japanese whisky and I will freely admit that a lot of the experience is very subjective (like wine) and is significantly influenced by everything from the bottle to the price you paid for it. But I don't care, most enjoyable experiences in life are very subjective. Pouring some Yamazaki 18 or JW Blue feels a lot better than cracking open that bottle of JW Red that you keep around for your in-laws.
