To each his own, I probably like a bunch of stuff you don’t - nothing wrong with that. I just never met anyone to share my Ralfy thoughts on so these thoughts just bounce around in my head with no outlet - my friends are either not into whisky or are not interested in watching videos about it on YouTube :-)

Restated, the argument over price makes more sense. Perhaps he elaborates on the point over more videos (only watched 50 or so) so maybe I just caught small snippets of the point .

I'm maybe kinda lucky in that my dad worked in the business for ~40 years, from lowly warehouseman all the way up to distillery manager. I also worked as a warehouseman and in the filling store filling casks in my early twenties for a brief stint. I've seen how the sausage is made and have gotten to hear the skinny on "internal matters" that others maybe wouldn't, and get the jist of the points he makes about the industry.

But he's an acquired taste for sure :)
