The best source of information is you taste both and you'll immediately taste the difference, unless you have a dead palate.
I'd rather buy a bottle of Famous Grouse than an overrated blue label. |

QUOTE(DarkAeon @ Mar 14 2016, 05:10 PM) it is the thought that counts. thanks for the comforting words..then will jst proceed to give then.. ppl have personal preferences on malts like cars. some ppl like different flavours not neccesarily exp. i guess it's kinda like wine then...there's no best wine..jst one that suits u.. |

JW Blue Label 18yo whisky
Hibiki/Yamazaki is Jap whisky but their 12YO is comparable or better in terms of taste. But then hard to find now. Still its a good whisky in itself. Like other /k says, seldom you will find cockroach smell in an 18YO |
