Last summer I had a discussion with a guy at a festival about Scotch. Somehow, I managed to piss him off, and he exclaimed "I'm an expert on Scotch." However, when I told him that I preferred Speyside to Islay he didn't know the difference, so he got shitty and said "So, you're the expert just because you've been there"!
When someone sticks his neck out it's hard to not step on it.

Now, I'm not saying I know a hell of a lot about whiskey;anymore than I know about beer. I know what I like and it's nothing more than my own opinion.
