4. Randy Abernethy asks from Hollywood:
Hi Charlie!
I was recently in a favorite local liquor store picking out a couple of Cadenhead's
for my collection when I ran across "The Century of Malts". The store manager assured me
that the President of Universal, who was somehow affiliated with Chivas Brothers
products... demanded that they keep this Scotch in stock. A blend of 100 malts..?
Many thanks,

Hi, about 20 years ago my father worked on a fishing boat off cape cod,

feet of water. All the bottles broke because of pressure but one. Is this bottle worth
anything?

12. Merton Meade asks:
Why is it so many people find it chic to poo-poo popular whiskies like
Glenlivet and Glenfiddich? I know people who say they wouldn't drink the stuff on a
bet. What's not to like? I'll cheerfully admit my favourites are the south-coast
Islays,
but so what....

15. Doug Strang asks from Canada:
I have been drinking Single Malts for a few years, because of my budget
just the less expensive ones. I have always liked The Glenlivet 12yr, but most others
I
enjoy just as well, depending on my mood at the time I guess. I once bought a bottle
of
Glenlivet (2 years ago?) that seemed much better than usual, more peaty,more smoky
yet retaining the light fruitiness that makes it distinct.
I bought anoither bottle soon after,but to my senses it was not the same,(still good).
So
I bought another bottle from the same store as the first, and it too had the stronger
peaty
flavour I had enjoyed before, I have since never experienced this particular flovour
bonanza from a bottle of Glenlivet..?
