Enough with whisky snobbery folks. This is a timely reminder that 'new world' whisky (from old world England) can be much better than just any old crap rolled out with a Scotch, Kentucky or Japanese location. We tasted at our whisky club, with many a refined palate, and folks placed the age and pedigree well above what you'd expect. There's a sooty peat here, a complexity that belies the age and terroir and shows technique and qualitycan win out over assumptions. Give it a try, and give English whisky (St George, Lakes, Cotswolds etc) a go.
