Oh The Humanity!

What can a man trust in if not his single malt scotch whisky. This terrible news just in from Scotland:

A decision by drinks giant Diageo to change the composition of the famous Cardhu malt has caused waves of protest around the world. Diageo's global brand director told BBC Scotland News Online that the implications of the move had been distorted and over-dramatised. However, rival whisky maker William Grant & Sons, whose products include Glenfiddich and The Balvenie, claims the Theindustry's reputation is being damaged.

The deputy group manager of William Grant & Sons said it best: "Anything, which threatens Scotch, threatens our prosperity." I find that I must agree. I'll steer clear of Cardhu and stick to The Balvenie or The Macallan. Or whatever you're buying for that matter. Beware the blended whisky.
