Sigh.
Ask a teetotaller to buy you a bottle of whisky and she can completely screw up the alcoholic assignment. And this is after you SMS her the exact wordings on the label.
Having recently been converted to the taste of Japanese 'Scotch', I had asked for a bottle of Suntory's Single Malt Yamazaki, 12 years, to be purchased from Narita.
Instead, I got a bottle of its Royal Blended Blue Label, 15 years.
Older bottle better no?, she says. Its not just about the age girl.
Well, Suntory's Royal blend of whiskies was launched to commemorate its 60th Anniversary way back in 1960. And I read that the company is justifiably proud of this excellent blend. It may not be Single-malt but the giant beverage conglomerate has supposedly blended the fermented grains to perfection.
Having taken a swig of it only just, I must concur. Simple, unfussy flavors when it first hits your palate. Then gently deepening into a sensuous, oakey complex befitting a good ole Scotch from the highlands.
