What he said.

Blue is good, but it's not great, and it's a blend, created as a tourist rip-off.

If I'm going to drink a blend, I want to be the one doing the blending.

Excellent choice! I like Johnny Walker Red to light my BBQ's charcoal.

Sell it on ebay and use the proceeds to buy Aberlour A'bunadh

Heh. A well-meaning but sadly misinformed relative bought me a bottle of Grouse one Christmas. Came in handy for making a nice whisky, peppercorn and cream sauce to go with steak.

Amazing, eh? I actually prefer Clan MacGregor (a supermarket Scotch) for cooking. Great in c*ck a leekie soup!

Hmmm. I freeze cheap vodka to minimise the taste of the undesirable aromatics in it and to make drinking mutiple shots easier (on the rare occasion I'm drinking lots socially, usually only then if we're playing drinking games). I also chill cheap red wine if it's 'undrinkable' as room temperature (I can't afford to throw it out).

Gotta wonder about drinking *blended* whisky from the freezer. I wasn't very impessed the last time I tried JW gold label and dropped an ice cube it it which is unusual for me. I normally drink my whisky neat these days (to the extent that I don't even keep an ice tray in the freezer anymore)

I love A'bunadh, the last two I tried were batch 18 and batch 24. However for me I'd probably spend the proceeds on Ardbeg Uigeadail, It's my favourite dram. That said I guess it's been a year since I've had a bottle, less since I bought an A'bunadh. I foolishly spent nearly twice as much on a bottle of Ardbeg Supernova for my Xmas gift to self as it was getting such good reviews. It was OK, still a treat but too much of a peat monster for me. I found it hard to get past the peat and smoke to discover other flavours.

I wish now I'd bought a bottle of Uigeadail, or A'bunadh even.

Although I hesitate to admit it in here, 'Black Grouse' is often found in my home. I'm an (Islay especially) single malt fan on a beer budget so, for those times when I can't afford a single malt I've been known to get my whisy and peat fix from three fingers of Black Grouse with a single ice cube. (Or without, as I've not kept an ice tray in my frezzer for a while. I must start having ice on hand again as SMSWs are becoming more and more scarce around here.)
