Why must it be Single Malt? What's wrong with Blended Whisky?
I have now opened a thread of its own with this question.
I do enjoy Blended Whisky as well.

Why must it be Single Malt? What's wrong with Blended Whisky?

I don't know why it must be. They both appeal to overlapping fanciers. Single malts tend to be more distinct, for very obvious distinctive reasons. Blendeds target a slightly different usage, often looking to reproduce a consistency not available in Single, and more prone to be used in cocktails and mixed drinks.
I, for one, would never pour a peaty Islay into Ginger Ale, but wouldn't hesitate to make a Rye and Ginger with Bulleit 95 - just as an example.
"Single Malt only" lovers are like those terrible snobbish snobs who pretend that they never drink anything but the most expensive French wine every day.
Und nothing less than Château Pétrus.

I prefer to sip a good single malt to enjoy the complexity and notes; no different from wines or cognac. It's not a snob thing, it's like a foodie who knows where to get the best wings, fries, cheesesteaks, or whatever. There's more out there than Crown, Seven, and Jack.
It's the difference between filet and sirloin..
May I ask again:
Just as a cuvée may be better than a single-grape-wine - why can't a blended whisky not also be better than a single malt in some cases?

This is the barely coherent and grammatically inept speech of a man who desperately wants to be able to claim that he "cured coronavirus."
That's it, in a nutshell. When we do get a handle on this crisis, he wants to be able to pull out footage and declare "I called it! I said use this! I said try this! I told them to do this, it was my idea!" He's just doing it with lots of stupid stuff because he doesnt want to miss an opportunity. He's afraid 'the big one' will be mentioned and he wont get credit for it.
It's all about declaring himself the savior of the cv crisis and we'll hear all about it, esp in his campaign. (Which is basically each of his press briefings these days) --- Lursa

It's a reasonable assertion. Unto itself, being a single malt Scotch, or a single barrel Bourbon, is no guarantee it will taste "better" - because after all, we're talking about taste - which is entirely subjective. And certainly coming from a single varietal grape is no guarantee any wine will be better than, for example, a claret from Bordeaux, which are virtually ALL blends of two or more grapes.
I dislike Tullamore Dew.
Exactly!
It is just that the big firms do not produce BETTER blended whiskies!
Because that had to ask a higher price, that nobody would pay.
But blendinng in itself is not bad at all.
