Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?

@richardbrand 

All we had to go on were tasting notes, because even the bottles had been exchanged to remove that clue. Bottom line is that I correctly identified all eight whiskies presented. 

Unless you can do that 9 times out of 10, identify the witnesses, and present a graph of the data, the flat-earthers on this thread will claim it is not scientifically rigorous enough test, and therefore you are imagining it. Then they still will state something like "confirmation bias", because it has not been proven that anybody has ears or taste buds more acute than theirs. 

Lagavulin with its signature iodine, seaweed and hospital bandage aromas.

If you are trying to get a non-drinker of scotch to try it, you are not doing a very good job. 

+1 Lagavulin

The guy who organised the whisky tastings was very quietly spoken and must have had pretty good hearing. He was an SAS instructor, and his reputed specialty was to disarm a knife wielding attacker while he was unarmed AND BLINDFOLDED. He used to spend weeks living off the land in the Northern Territory, observing joint US and Australian exercises while remaining unseen.

Another attendee knew a lot about transports - he flew Hercules including the final humanitarian evacuations from Saigon. Ended up as Wing Commodore for the RAAF’s VIP fleet

But I digress ...

Lagavulin 16…haven’t had that in a while. Love it. Great in cold weather paired with a nice cigar. 
P.S. I don’t want to even read about blending single malts…I skipped that part of the thread…that’s just criminal…

Johnny Walker blends malts all the time.  Blue Label includes Lagavulin ...

The real crime in my book is adding ice

My point is that a tiny dram of another whisky has a chance of improving the single malt, which itself is likely a blend of many barrels,

Bit like changing a power cord on a CD transport really
