Whisky

I went to the Harvard Statistics Dept lecture on classifications of whisky (this is the right spelling outside the US) by professor from St.Andrew's University in Scotland. There was a part describing the process of making the whisky, a bit on the history of whisky in England and around the world, and finally a description of statistical methods the lecturer used to classify the whisky based on assumed 10 categories of flavors. Of course there was whisky tasting after the lecture with a few types representing each of the categories. I have tasted a wide range of flavors and could finally see some differences between the famous brands. I'm not sure I would buy the most expensive one :-)  And I found my favorites
