When I pass of this good earth, I’ll be taking my Brora with me. Not so I can share with god, but so I can bribe the devil.

For bourbon and single malt whisky a rating of 2.5 means “average”. Anything rated 3 or more is worth a taste, anything rated 4 or more is recommended. For blended scotch the average is 1.5, and anything rated 3 or more is recommended.
