Joshua McGee's Single Malts Pages
|
These pages are dedicated to the collection and appreciation of single malt scotch whisky. To that end, I have assembled tasting notes for the single malts in my collection. I have a somewhat idiosyncratic tasting vocabulary, so I have provided a glossary of tasting terms. I have created a discussion space for these pages and single malts in general at the QuickTopic free message boards, as mentioned on my Best of the Web page. You do not need to register to participate, and you may post anonymously if you desire. You are welcome to join the discussion. Please follow any of the links below to view tasting notes.
