FYI, lactose intolerant people CAN eat cheese (well most cheeses). When a starter culture is added to milk, the bacteria converts the lactose into lactic acid.

Oh man a single malt tasting, that's like my dream, anyone want to give me 65 bucks to go, i'll come back with a full report and hangover.
