“Because you can't buy happiness... but you can buy whisky and that's pretty much the same thing”

Try Before you Buy: Whisky Samples and Miniatures

Don't you hate when you spend a lot of money on a bottle of whisky and it is a bad one.

Never again! Buy a sample and get an idea of how good or bad is the whisky before buying a a full bottle. I personally get my samples from Master of Malt because they have a fair price and come in a very solid and nice glass flask.

If you decide to buy miniatures instead, just keep in mind that the older the miniature that easier it is that the whisky is spoiled. You can't know! As Forrest Gump once said whisky miniatures are like a chocolate box, you never know what you are going to get... I have a rate of around 3% of spoiled miniatures.
