“I know that people find whisky confusing - and they often try blended Scotch and get put off whisky for life”, says whisky expert Dave Broom. “They are really missing out […] You need help to find what you like.” Which is why Broom developed the aforementioned grid, also known as the Whisky Flavour Map...The horizontal axis differentiates lighter from richer flavours... The position on the vertical axis is determined by the whisky’s degree of ‘peatiness’. Peat can be used to heat the pot stills in which the damp malt is dried, during which time the smoke gets into the barley - more time, more smoke, more smokiness...
At our house we keep three bottles hidden away in a cabinet for special occasions (guests present, day ending in the letter "y") - a Laphroaig, a Highland Park, and a Macallan. Perhaps we should add one from the lower left quadrant.
