So I thought I hadn’t reviewedThe Irishman Single Maltbefore, thus when fellow TWS members were handed samples by a company representing them, I said sure.

Then I reviewed it, and re-read my old review. Oops. Not really. You see, these are made in small batches. Something like 1,000 bottles in total. So some variation is expected.

Maybe. Some companies are proud to vary, some have everyone from the CEO to the accounting analyst trying batches to ensure consistency.

Thus while we have a mistake, we have a chance to see if it varies. Maybe it’s changed. Maybe I’ve changed. Maybe you’ve changed. We don’t really know until we try it.

So let’s try this again, shall we?
