I saw that when you posted it on FB
Benromach and Tomintoul taste pretty similar to me, though that suggests they should be pretty different. On the strength of that, I decided that perhaps I'd be beter sticking to Jack Daniels.

I picked up a Blair Athol which should be similar to Auchentoshan based on that
It... kind of is, I guess.

You know, I know enough about wine to consistently pick good ones
but I rarely feel the need to talk about taste profiles or red berries, or floral notes. I just like ones that don't taste like paint thinner. I am applying the same logic to whisky.
