Recently I've been looking into blended scotch whisky and vatted malts, out of pure curiosity. However, I am more interested in making my own. Does anybody have any experience vatting their own malts? Has anybody experienced good results? I mixed a little something and it wasn't half bad. It was: 6x Speyburn 10, 4x Glenlivet 12, 4x Glenrothes Select Reserve (NAS), 2x Auchentoshan 10, 1x Bowmore legend (NAS), 1x water. It was fairly balanced but I think I will tone down the Islay next time and probably use Lagavulin 16 instead.
Also, has anyone found a good commercially available vatting or blend? I always hear "compass box" but have yet to see it in stores.
