With so many malt whiskies to choose from I'll need to taste a LOT more to be certain which is best.

Now, who's paying ?

The bug hit my post.
The rest of my question was …paint to use for FIW French justacorps? It's an odd color. Not white, not light gray, not khaki. Thanks for any input.

Any old white-ish light grey will do.

There was a lot of variation but a white-ish light grey just about covers them all.

Vallejo Medium Grey as base and Vallejo Deck Tan for the lights.

As for the actual question, the best non-white white I've ever found was the old Pactra Sub-frame white.
