Who knows. Maybe this is meant to be chugged?
The first time I saw DB I ignored it as i ignore all the poor JW blends, no matter how expensive they are. Then my pusher at LHR T3 urged me to try it blind. I liked all three of the Islays, except that one was DB!
How could that be?
As I have already said DB is now my daily tipple primarily because of the regular $35-40 prices I find in Duty Free shops.
However, last night I finished my last remaining bottle of Signatory bottled Port Ellen 1979 (I thought it was all gone and was overjoyed to find this one, preserved with the wine vacuum system I use for Whisky). Without a doubt that remains the finest whisky I have ever tasted. Now if I can sneak out to buy another bottle, a bargain now at only US$352
