"I liken malt to a grand Steinway piano, principally because malt whisky is the most complex spirit in the world. And the grand Steinway piano has the greatest range and intensity of sounds of all instruments. The top notes are like the very delicate fruity floral, in the middle you find this incredible sumptuous malty middle that you can only get from malted barley. In the bass, there are deep chocolates, treacle, and mead, almost Christmas-like flavours . . . I find that different styles of music match different whiskies. For example I liken Glenmorangie Ten Year Old to a Chopin waltz." (Rachel Barrie)Rachel Barrie from the Glenmorangie Distillery in Scotland was the first woman to earn the title of "Scotch Whisky Master Blender."
