Sipping an eggnog spiced with a bit of Lauders as I write this... I actually prefer Lauders to Chivas Regal. I have bought a few bottles of single malt in my day, usually in airport Duty Free shops. But I have never bought any of the really high dollar Scotch. My experience there comes courtesy of a friend who has a magnificent collection of Single Malts. When I visit, he turns me loose on that corner of the house. (He has eight drinking stations around the house, two for rums which is his drink of choice). McCallan 25 year is to die for. But it would be a lottery- winning day or a retirement celebration before I would buy a bottle...
