What's the point of "vatted malts?"

I have to say I got this post a little late. Seems like everyone hit the good points before I could get to it. But, I will Blacksabb definitely try JWG before you say anything bad about it.

And ClubSmed is that Dalmore still available sounds like something I might want to try??

Out of stock at the moment but looks like it will be available.

The Dalmore hasn't had rave reviews, particularly given it's price - above £100.
It is still available though

Thank you for the advice C57, from what I have seen you know what you are talking about. At that price point and not getting rave reviews I am going to have to pass on getting a bottle and it isn't available in the states anyways. If i am ever abroad I will try get a taste of it. Nice bottle by the way.

Thank you Les for the info.

In JWG, I would say the Linkwood is what I really pick up a lot in it. I need to get anoth bottle of soon!

What's your thoughts on Linkwood Gov? There's an indy 10 that i've been eying for a while. What in general impresses you about this distilleries whisky?

What in general impresses you about this distillery's whisky?

The deft balance. Almost every edition I've tasted has displayed an elusive smokiness, floral, fruity and mealy elements, and a delicate sweetness reminiscent, both taste-wise and texturally, of honeycomb.

Like Highland Park, different issues may have emphasized one characteristic or another. But they've all been satisfying pours.

Gordon & Macphail's 15YO even had a tinge of maple syrup in its makeup.

Cheers TTD, it sounds like a nice drinking drop.
