I watched the whole thing (as posted in review), although I have to admit that I got slightly distracted at a few points. I need (and want) to watch it again. One issue did jump out at me. I had asked a question a few years ago on another forum, under another name, about "international blends". Disappointingly, the discussion never really took off. It also seemed to be brushed off at this event. You also asked a similar question on your blog a while ago (too lazy to search for the exact post right now). Personally, I've had mixed (no pun intended) results. I recall a particularly good blend of a flat 16 year old G&M Glenlivet with Bulleit Bourbon. It just worked. But also several others that were clearly less than the sum of their parts. But I guess the point is that "blending" different types of whisk(e)y from different countries seems to be unexplored territory. Why? This could be one of the (major) upsides of globalization.
