I’ve just opened the bottle of Glenmorangie 10-year-old malt
that somebody bought me for doing her tax return.
I wonder why they package good quality scotch better than
they do the ordinary stuff. I can’t imagine that the difference in production cost
is significant. Maybe they do it for the same reason that Bentley cars have
matching wood grain on both doors – so they can spend an extra £20 and charge
an extra £20,000 for the perception of luxury. In the case of single malt scotch
(how I would appreciate a case of single malt scotch) it’s probably because the
cork stopper that goes squeeeek – POP!
when you open it make you feel like you matter.
Whatever, it tastes good. And it’s interesting that a large
malt has far more of a soporific effect than a large blend, even though they have the
same alcohol content. Maybe somebody can tell me why.
