For example, I would take 2/3 White Horse, add in 1/3 Peat Monster and I imagine I would have made a pretty damn good Islay blend.<br /><br />Vatting comes down to a lot of imagination.Jason Deblyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305087714773608306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-63616736467399422662012-05-14T05:46:02.511-03:002012-05-14T05:46:02.511-03:00I bought Aslya and it's boring.

I wonder if vatting P.M with a spare single malt in a small bottle would give it an extra dimension.

I always feel that peat should carry other flavours in its wake rather than burying them with its presence. I thought that this is what happened here as the sweeter, maltier flavours had been buried which left the whisky rather uninteresting and uninspired.<br /><br />I am glad that you found enjoyment where I did not.Chip Dykstrahttp://therumhowlerblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
