Interim résumé: My take on ratings

I have tasted and written about 8 Scottish single malt whiskies so far, and I feel it is time again to take a breath and look back on the steps I have taken up to now on my whisky journey. Especially, I start to compare the impressions I get and what I write down to some of the countless whisky reviews that are out there already. Many reviewers give marks or ratings to the whiskies they try, based on different systems. One of the most common systems gives a number of points out of 100, with most whiskies ranging between 80 and 90 points. I thought about this a lot, but came to the conclusion that I won't go with that and don't give such marks to my whiskies.
