After upgrading to 778 AND having a double whiskey the metal front ladies appear more 3 dimensional.
Unfortunately this morning after waking up with some headache, they appear again more flat. 
I have to repeat the experiment tonight.

You’ve obviously never drunk with a Scotsman 
Whilst often (unfairly, I might add) being regarded as somewhat fiscally constrained (or ‘grippit’ to use the local parlance), Scots are remarkably generous when it comes to sharing that very fine, amber-coloured Water of Life (‘Uisge beatha’ from which the word Whisky derives) Anything less than two fingers of whisky is an insult to a guest:
My father and his friends have taken the two-finger measure to new heights with their very own ‘hoose’ (house) measure:
Needless to say, a ‘session’ in their company is either very short for me, or it requires that I drink very, very slowly…

Two glasses of whiskey. Define Glass!
I learnt drinking whiskey in Scotland.

My sincere apologies - you said a double in your earlier post. I mistakenly assumed 2 of those grippit bar measures (50ml total) served down here in England.
You and my father obviously speak the same language 
I assume you will have acquired a few favourites in your meanderings across my homeland?
Over the years I definitely got some favourites. But I fear, it is getting very off topic now¨
I repeated the experiment tonight. The 3 dimensionality appears even if roon is not running. So it must be Caol Ila single cask, cask strength 21 years old. Even the vacum cleaner looks tempting.

@Graeme_Finlayson I always enjoy your posts!
Of course it could be the Scotch clouding my judgement.

Nice to hear someone appreciates my incoherent ramblings, even if it is ‘under the influence’

This is my staple unpeated malt:
and I’m still sipping my way through this one (gift from my father):
I find the older the vintage, the greater the sonic benefit with Build 778.

I do love an Abelour, tried a Glengoyne once I think in a small taster box, it was very good to. Only got Auchentoshan 12 year old and Cardu Gold Reserve on the go at the moment. I ran out of my really nice stuff my workmates bought me for a leaving present, was stunning can’t remember what it was now as I decanterd it and got rid of the bottle, it was not cheap though I think it was a 30 year Mortlach

Always a little unsettling when they seem so glad to see you go…

Nobody said anything about being glad. If where I would have been lucky to get a bottle of Jack Daniels not £300+ bottle of single malt.

I’m looking forward to being able to travel back to Scotland - haven’t seen my father in almost 18 months. We usually manage to squeeze in a distillery visit or two while I’m there! Aberlour is a distillery I haven’t been able to visit yet, though Glengoyne is only 45 minutes drive from where I grew up.
Wow, a 30 yo Mortlach is a very special dram! Runs about 450 notes a bottle of you can find it.

Yep it was a beautiful scotch. Used to have a great whisky shop almost next door to the office, tasted quite few during lunchtimes. It’s my aim to do a distillery tour at some point.
