In my opinion it's a myth that blends have to be inferior to single malts; even black label is as good as many island single malts.

If you blend crap, you get a crap blend (like red label, or other cheaper blends), if you blend decent stuff, you can end up with a lovely drink that has good properties of various single malts combined! Bargain!]]>Aug 14th 2009 5:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/

You have to be kidding me. Blends are purely and simply an excuse to put cheap, crappy grain whisky in to bulk out the product. They all taste essentially the same, and they're all terrible.

Got given a giant bottle of Black Label after a friend came through Duty Free, and whilst it was incredibly kind, we ended up throwing some of it away. Some of us happen to believe that delicious, smoke-laden island whiskies are undoubtedly the best, and find even the idea of a comparison with such swill slightly offensive...]]>Aug 14th 2009 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 14th 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 14th 2009 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/PS- If someone is looking for a tasty single malt try Deanston 12 year. Its around $35 for a bottle but don't let the price fool you.

I was also wondering what the detector considers "rot gut," since liquor preferences certainly vary from person to person. The fact that Taaka even exists is testament to this.]]>Aug 14th 2009 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 13th 2009 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 13th 2009 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 14th 2009 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/almost]]>Aug 13th 2009 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 13th 2009 11:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 13th 2009 11:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 13th 2009 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 13th 2009 11:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 13th 2009 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 14th 2009 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 14th 2009 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 14th 2009 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 14th 2009 1:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 14th 2009 12:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 14th 2009 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 14th 2009 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/

However, this is a silly argument to make, because water can fit the same definition, ie water intoxication.

Paracelsus had it right: "Everything is poison, there is poison in everything. Only the dose makes a thing not a poison." ]]>Aug 14th 2009 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/rotgutonix-the-slightly-paranoid-somewhat-discerning-drunks/Aug 14th 2009 4:59PM
