Double single malt

[pirate]

Tel, what is a double single malt?
Is it a single malt x 2, or a double malt?
I can't post this in the thread you mentioned it on...something to do with sockets not working.
Please help!

ok.a single maltis a whisky that is not blended from 2 or more different malts. it's a single malt.
a double is a measure of volume, double the size of a single measure, which is 25mL, so a double measure is 50mL.or, in my world, 4 fingers. (and my fingers are not thin).

And the world's finest whiskies are triple distilled.

One of the things I like about spending time in the US, measurements are 1oz for single and 2oz for double.

Beer is in oz too, but not often can get a full pints worth.

is that a fluid oz.? as in 1/20 pint?

It's about 30ml.

However most bars still free pour, so you get a little bit more.

depending on the bar, a single can be 25ml or 35ml... which makes a double 70
That might just be Scottish licensing law?

 

[telectrix]

can't get to grips with this metric malarky. 2 fingers is nice. 4 fingers is a bedtime sip.

In Northern Ireland a single measure is 35ml

I think a fluid oz is a fluid oz... but we have 20 to a pint, and they only have 16 of em..
