cdn_dram you were digging deep to find this post but at a glance the list I posted still stands.

There are probably a few more that should be on the list but don't come to mind at the moment, most likely indie bottlers.

I'd like to blindfold taste samples from full-sized bottles (not from samplers) of the self same batch, one with E150 and one uncoloured. I'm far from convinced that either I, or most other drinkers, would notice the difference.

Of course, such a tasting wouldn't ever happen

I have seen the use of E150a caramel colouring demonstrated at a tasting.

They used water to demonstrate it, they added E150a to a glass of water to make it the colour you would expect to see a whisky such as Balvenie 12 Doublwood. When nosed or tasted blind everyone was able to pick out the glass of water with the E150a caramel colouring. They probably wouldn't need to add such a heavy amount to a whisky to achieve the desired colour so it would be less likely to be detectable.

Whether you can or cannot detect colouring in a whisky there is no need for it in a single malt.
