I think it is the luck of the draw to be honest.......Although they do acknowledge there is a problem in this area that for what ever reason they are having difficulty sorting.
Oh sorry, I got that wrong! Cheques payable to Comment, Analyse ,Speculate Here.

I don't like guests. They see your best malt whisky and when you offer them a drink that is what they ask for. Then when they leave you discover half the bottle has gone. When the hospitality is returned the only thing on their drinks tray is a bottle of ASDA's cheapest bloody sherry.
There you go godders.......must have been a pompey fan.......or in other words a cheap skate!...........Sorry Pompey fans couldn't resist.......
Godders, this is the very reason I have a nice crystal decanter at the front of the cabinet that has something like Bells in it. This is usually what people reach for and certainly what I reach for when a heathen says something like, "Oh yes please, whisky and coke for me."
The good stuff is elsewhere
You might know this already ... The single malt stocked by Aldi called Glen Marnoch limited release is a single malt of some distinction at approximately £18 a bottle, very good value. It is a Isle of Islay malt distilled for Aldi. I can recommend it..

I'm much more devious. I picked up a bottle in a scottish pub when someone had the last measure. It was a 25 year old single malt bottle (I forget the name). Filled it with Tesco value whisky and served it for years. Everyone (without exception) told me how amazingly smooth it was.

Reminds me of when I was a cocktail barman in Greece a few years ago. to the left was the real Smirnoff etc, to the right was 'bomba'. I used to fill it out of a plastic container from the wholesalers before my shift each evening
1. Remind me not to drink whisky when I'm next at your place
And
2. What a brilliant idea - going to keep the next single malt bottle I finish and do the same ....
Best thing is not to offer guests drinks...they'll only want to stay.
Saw a doormat once...wish I'd bought it. It said, 'How long are you stopping.'

I did see a front door mat that said...... "Welcome"....... underneath in small letters............"don't forget to close the door on the way out"
The full story is slightly more devious (If that's possible). I actually had three different bottles from the Scottish bar. I put the Tesco stuff into the three bottles and in two of them I put drops of different food colouring.
So I had three different bottles of slightly different coloured (but identical) whisky. One particular person came and told me which one was so much better than the others, regaling me with details of its smoothness and aftertaste.
I do rather shock myself sometimes.
