Oh, I don't know. There's a lot to be said for a detailed survey of the possible single malt choices. One can spend a delightful week or two making sure to check out all of speyside, Islay and the Highlands. Of course, having selected a few proper drams, one would just have to work one's way down the leewards, doing proper comparisons to the various rums, not to mention working the dank of Scotland out of one's bones. Shame it's a little unsettled to include a stop at Barbancourt in Haiti in the rhum tasting tour.
