Found this tidbit:

Then I have several whiskies that aren't really single malts. They are called vatted malts which means they are all made up from single malt scotch, but contain more than one malt in the final bottling. In fact, Chivas makes one called A Century of Malts. It is comprised of drips and drabs from one hundred different single malts. Others like Sheep Dip, Pig's nose and Hog's Head are generally made up from three to six different single malts.

Which made me wonder if anyone has tried Hog's Head...

Unfortunately, I can't even find the Pig's Nose near me. :(

Pig's Nose's smoothness comes from its specially selected Speyside, Islay and Lowland malts married with gentle grain whiskies to produce a blend which is truly "as soft as a Pig's Nose".

Now THIS is what I call a valuable Thread. With just a little more detective work...it could even become a Sticky!

Thanks, Guyon.

That is another one of Skunk’s tricks that he taught me. That is what he uses for a level when he builds things. Doesn't work all that well but when you build a house with it, walking on its floors makes great practice for walking while your are drunk.


And I need to go ride now so I can get to the HogsHead sooner than later!
 
Pig's Nose is a blend, made by the same guys who make Sheep's Dip, which is a vatted malt. The original post kind of conterdicts itself.

I use to be able to get Sheeps Dip at Bevmo, but haven't seen it there for like six months. I've looked for Pig's Nose and never found it there.

I need to look up Hog's head and get a bottle, even though in my limited sampling of scotch I've found that it's hard to beat JW Black, especially considering that it goes for $20-25 a bottle.

YMMV,
Jax
