Well, I bought a bottle of each of the Highland and Speyside Tovess single malts. For what it's worth, my verdict on both is that they're drinkable, but not much better than that. I wouldn't pour them ...

Interesting. Thank you.

So if Grants are involved, maybe the Speyside will be one of theirs? Kininvie, perhaps, since that's less likely to be recognised than Glenfiddich or Balvenie?

Has what people consider the Speyside region been reduced over time? Is there actually an official - or at least something near official - definition of its boundaries?!

A single malt scotch is a whisky produced solely from malted barley, at 1 distillery, in a copper pot stil ...

Monkey Shoulder was my gateway Whisky and is lovely. Its a vatted Malt which means it's a blend of Single Malts with no grain Whisky at all. Iirc they're all from Glenfiddich/Balvenie distilleries as ...
