Decidely not true malt-wise!. My wife and daughter outclass and out-sample me in the malt dept.; especially in the Glengoygne 20 year elixer! My daughter's RLS museum hosts serious formal whisky tastings as fundraisers. They are well attended!
In 2017, on an extended distillery tour of Scotland incl. Skye, Oban, Edinborough, Doone Castle, etc. we stayed at a beautiful B&B in Grantown-on-Spey. In seeking direction from locals to a recommend bistro with haggis et al, I was hopelessly confounded by their heavy Scottish brogue response. I sheepishly & contritely responded: "I'm so sorry, we only speak American!?" Bemused, they started laughing hysterically at my plight; and immediately, mercifully altered their speech pattern to very comprehensible 'Mericanese!
