I would totally agree if it was a good malt or even a good blend but there
are some blends on the market that you need something to make it drinkable.
Now to hypothesise that seeing Mr Greenwood has such a good taste in music
the whiskey he was drinking was a bad blend. It was given to him as a
present and he didn't want to wast something that was related to some of the
best drinks on the planet, highland, lowland or island. He also did not want
to be impolite to the giver of the gift.
