Okay, I did the experiment: you could Google durian, UA, and BOB.

 -> For a blend, you might not want to detect many of the nuances!

 HN> there should be some nuance's in there somewhere!(grin)

Most blends contain a large proportion of grain neutral spirit,
which although not supposed to add any flavor actually imparts
a character of its own, usually manifesting itself with what I
think of as a taste reminiscent of almond extract. The better
blends actually use a higher percentage of the good stuff,
sometimes enough to actually impart a distinctive flavor. As
you know, a blend made up exclusively of single malts is called
a "vatted malt" and tends to command a much higher price than
the regular blends. To complicate things, I was told by a
distillery representative that Bowmore Darkest, which I enjoy,
is a vatted malt made up exclusively of single malts all made
by Bowmore: why it's different from any other single malt
that is a blend from various casks from a single distillery
I don't know. Perhaps Bowmore has more than one facility?

Thanks!

 -> I'm sure I could take the 194 bus
 HN> 574 bus from airport to tacoma, 594 bus from tacoma to Seattle.

The problem would be the suitcase; I recall other ballparks having
a 16x16x8 rule and no facility for checking larger stuff. This would
solve itself nicely via your route if someone could pick me up at
the Tacoma Dome or at the park & ride. If I had only an overnight
case or less I could take the the 194 from the airport to Seattle
and just endure the bag check.
