For my 25th anniversary lunch at work, we all had 25 year old Talisker.

Amazingly, I *could* tell the difference from 12.

If you are interested, I highly recommend
 Lapointe, F.-J. & P. Legendre. 1994. 
 A classification of pure malt Scotch whiskies. 
 Applied Statistics 43: 237-257

Some poeple are better at picking research topics than I am!
