To Finish or not to finish that's the question!

15 years ago whisky shelfs were deferent from now. Most distillery's had one expression or at the most three. Now almost every distillery, which produces for the single malt market has a whole range of vintage's, finishes, casks used and different ages. If you draw a line at the left side you've got Glenfarclas which say's "The customer should finish the whisky" and at the right side Bruichladdich which got such a vast range of finishes, that you could fill multiple tasting evenings with it.

I'm a bit torn between the two, on one hand I think, great just honest, those Glenfarclas people let's go straight and on the other hand great let's experiment and see what a difference it makes!

  • I truly enjoy the number of choices distilleries currently supply to the market. Having said this, one must always remember that age, cask, or distiller does not drive your taste.

  • Everybody should drink his whisky as he likes it! I don't mind if distilleries decide to finish or not.
