Many whisky authors and websites refuse to review or rate malt whiskies, claiming that taste is subjective. We think they're lazy or scared. Some malts are better than others just as some wines are better than others and some girls are bigger than others. Individual taste, preference, and predudice are what keep reviews interesting so we make no attempt to remove them. We do want to inspire discussion and comment and give you help in choosing your next malt whisky. We don't want to discourage you from trying everything. Finally, I must stress that we are enthusiasts - NOT experts. If you want the bible of expert single malt whisky reviews you should get 'The Malt Whisky Companion - Michael Jackson (5th edition 2004)'
