For every man, there’s a single malt whisky and for every single malt whisky, there’s a man somebody once said… probably.
But what if our character traits were the drivers behind which single malt whisky we drink? What if there were stunning whiskies for every character on the planet?
Of course, there are stunning whiskies out there for everyone. So doesn’t that make this exercise completely pointless, you ask. To you we say, shut up. And read.
So this is simple. Pick your personality – introvert, extrovert, geek, hipster or snob – and bingo! We recommend the single malt whisky that suits you like a… well, like a good whisky.
THE INTROVERT
You’d rather let someone else do the talking and you definitely don’t dance at parties. You don’t even have a boogie when you’re drunk. Yes, you’re definitely an introvert. But that’s okay.
There’s nothing wrong with being the shy, retiring type and we’re pleased to report that there’s a whisky just for you.
This delight is understated and subtle. It never shouts, but rather it prefers to talk quietly to your palate. The finish? It’s not bold but it’s complex. It’s non-sherried… and non-fussy and it’s a whisky you’ll want to get to know better.
THE EXTROVERT
You’re irritating but you don’t care. You are the person that always has to get his or her point across first, even if it means shouting above everyone else.
You always want to be the centre of attention and, annoyingly, you’re really good at pretty much everything you try your hand at. People like to be around you, despite your annoying habits, because exciting things tend to happen when you’re there.
Every group needs an extrovert and every extrovert needs a whisky like this.
It’s intense and powerful and it’s really not for the faint-hearted! There’s so much to this epic whisky that we could devote an entire blog to it (and we might at a later date).
From peppery hits to deep, dark fruity tones this whisky just wants everyone to take it in. You could say, to try it is to love it!
THE GEEK
You’re very much on trend these days, but you had no idea that what you are is somehow kinda cool now.
You’re probably a little socially inept and quiet. You have some serious passions that involve late-night online gaming and building empires. You’re frighteningly intelligent and actually really interesting once you get past the social awkwardness.
People like you because you’re different and interesting, much like this complex whisky.
Incredibly complex and delightfully subtle, this whisky is one that you can spend hours getting to know. There are so many intricate layers to this whisky that it only truly starts to reveal itself after a few tastings.
Citrus hits, but with soft vanilla tones, there’s much to love about this intriguing single malt.
THE HIPSTER
You hate when people accuse you of being pretentious but deep down, you know they’re kinda right.
Whether it’s fashion, music, food and drink or anything else, you’ll despise it if it’s within the social mainstream.
Many of the things that you loved last year you’ve grown to hate as you perceive them as “sell-outs”.
Luckily for you, there are plenty single malt whiskies that fall within a hipster’s mantra. Try this one on for size.
Whisky from an independent distillery always feels just that little bit more special and this expression most certainly fits that bill.
This whisky is rich and full-bodied and is full of character. The heavy port influence makes this incredibly fruity and it’s definitely not a drink you get to savour every day. A triumph!
THE SNOB
No matter how hard you try, you always end up sounding like a snob… because you’re a snob. Big deal. You like the finer things in life and you don’t accept sub-standard. You know what you want.
We know what you’ll want too. Try this beauty out.
Well, what can we say about this majestic whisky that’s not already been said before? Few whiskies from anywhere can rival the nose, the taste or the finish of this stunning single malt.
We use the word ‘complex’ a lot because it’s a trait that’s important in whisky but this offering takes it to new heights. Subtle wood smoke, heather, peaches, delicate spices… it goes on and on.
Simply different class.
