[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 204837, member: 3"] The power of suggestion. The big distiller have it down to a mechanised science that chemically and mechanically reproduces booze like General Mills reproduces Corn Flakes. The advertisers sell it in pretty ads and modern media that it's just like "This" and even has some of "This" in it. What amazes me is how many of the smaller single malt distillers who were barely producing a couple days a week, or even ended up shutting down for a while, now can make special bottlings that sell for exorbitant prices without most buyers having ever sampled a drop first. Internet Gotta-Be-Like-Mike popularity, Vox Populi run amok? Many blended whiskys are really good, I'll drink Famous Grouse or Pinch, but single malt is different. maybe that's why it's become so popular in the age of the internet bringing even the smallest out-there little things to the masses for us to dwell on.
