Mixing Good Malt with ginger wine, though? Tsk. Of course, I can imagine that Highland Park may well be the nearest you have "in house" to a suitable mixing whisky (no-one at Schloss Raven being Grouse drinkers as far as I know). Alternatively, maybe you were alternating the beverages, in which csase I owe you a double apology.
On the other hand, once in a while an Irish coffee made with Blue Mountain and Bushmills Malt beats the ordinary kind hollow, so why not make a whisky mac with the good stuff?
[subtext - on the way back from the pub tonight I had my first glass of 'plain' Bushmills in some years, and had quite forgotten how good it could be]
