    Well, there's a website I've never seen before! Lol. Thanks! I like Bourbon, but I'm more of a Single Malt guy ? But maybe I'll give this a try. One can never have too much whisk(e)y in the house. Cheers.

    Kohlhase And Kopp Blend Recommendations

    Oh, I didn't realise that. The shop is only about 5km from where I work. I've not been in for a few years and that was to buy cigars. I should go soon. Maybe they do free samples ??

    English Blend for Beginners
