good of a "Single" Whisky?

"A 'single' whisky has double meaning," said Johnnie Walker. "When we in Scotland talk about 'single' whiskics we mean the many separate whiskies which are blended together to make Johnnie Walker. No two

single whiskies are exactly alike; it is the art of the blender to retain the finest

characteristics of each so that perfect harmony is achieved. In fact, harmonious blending, like harmonious marriage, is largely a matter of give and take. And the moral is, when giving or taking whisky, ask for Johnnie Walker by name.”
