In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......

[Andy C]

Its a sad day when the pursuit of the best whisky turns to Japan. This is a major sore point with the Scots - we support the American attempts at Whiskey - because lets face it the tradition of making good whisky was brought there by the Scots and the Irish originally - but Japan - WTF do they know about the tradition of whisky making - they took an age old tradition and bastardised it to mass produce the crap that they call whisky. Hell we have whisky that is still maturing in barrels that is older than the original 1929 "whisky" that they produced.

I am not anti Japanese by the way - but I am against wankers attempting to copy the traditions of generations.

One of the reasons that Sean Connery (in fact pretty much the reason) is not actually welcome in Scotland is because he became the face of Suntory Whisky - believe me he was ripped to shreds in Scotland for that traitorous act.

There are over three hundred fine Single Malt Whisky's from Scotland to choose from - you guys haven't even scratched the surface yet - dont f##k with a heritage and tradition that goes back further than before we even knew Japan existed.
