[QUOTE="Thomas Tkach, post: 410937, member: 1422"] Thanks for the confirmation on that! The comparison to single-malt scotch is not right. Single Malt refers to the malt being processed and distilled from a single distillery, but is often blended with different batches over the years to maintain a consistent flavor--just like 5100. Single Cask is like the McCranies--it's either form one actual barrel or multiple barrels of the same batch aged together. Blended Scotch is a blend of malts from different distilleries to get a bit of different flavors. Cf. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_malt_whisky]wikipedia[/url]: The upshot is that they are both using the same leaf, but from different years (single or blended). There's obviously a difference (one year's crop may be exceptionally good or bad or just different) but they should be pretty close. One year of RR may be on the sweeter end of the spectrum of the RC blend, another year might be on the less sweet end, and some years may be right in the middle and hard to discern any difference between RR and RC.
