I think you'll find single malt whisky is far superior to blended whisky (in general as there's always exceptions and there's definitely bad single malts) any connoisseur will tell you so. I have a decent palate for whisky (spell it right please), have an extensive collection and have sampled bottles that cost in excess of £5,000, I know whisky. No whisky loving Scotsman will ever drink JW.
Don't wanna push an argument for argument's sake, so back on the subject of whiskey, what are some single malts you recommend?
I just tried Laphroaig 10, and I loved it, although it's a bit too unique of a flavor to go back to very often, I'm still glad I have a bottle of it.
This is why I think blends like JW Black are great-- they are the go-to scotch for the majority of times you want to drink something balanced and delicious.
The Glenlivet is also another nice go-to scotch.
