Well, if that works for you, you'll save an awful lot of money. 8

If you keep tasting, you may develop an appreciation for quality -- or
you may not. Many people just drink for the effect it has on them.

But to some of us, there's a much more complex world of flavor out
there. Haig Pinch contains a considerable amount of grain whisky, which
contributes a raw edge without much flavor. Almost all single malt
drinkers would turn up their noses at it for anything besides mixed
drinks or cooking.
