I dont like J&B much, last time i had it i just couldn't get into it.
Dont drink JW red much cos its harder to get than black here, so i just drink black instead. Thats my standard scotch really.
Favorite cheap Scotch?

Black Label is a fine Scotch. Nothing wrong in that all, but I don't consider it a cheap scotch. I guess that's relative, though.

Re: Favorite cheap Scotch?
Its not cheap but not really expensive either. Its nice stuff but not so nice i wont load it into my coffee, or make cocktails from it. I have got a bottle for as little as £15 before which i call cheap.Bluto wrote:captain gonzo wrote:I dont like J&B much, last time i had it i just couldn't get into it.

For truely cheap fun, sainsburys own brand scotch whiskey isnt too bad considering its supermarket own brand booze.

That sounds good. I'm hoping for something nice from the Maker's Mark Ambassador gift section this year too.

Re: Favorite cheap Scotch?
Last couple years there was some svedka in my stocking. Now that I have moved away mostly from the vodka my friend Johnny or a well known Grouse may end up there. A decent single malt would be a surpsising treat though.captain gonzo wrote:I have a really hard job getting booze related items for christmas....at leat my mum ALWAYS gets me a decent single malt.

Irony, ballantine scotch made in scotland.....not really sold in the UK cos it was made for the foreign market.fizzmaster wrote:I like Ballantine's for some cheapo scotch.
Its around $25 - 30 around where i live for a bottle, (£17 is the cheapest ive seen it) so buying a bottle of JW black is about the same price.

Re: Favorite cheap Scotch?
I find ALL Johnnie Walker scotch tastes watered-down (ESPECIALLY the $179-per-bottle Blue Label*).
Great advertising, bad scotch, not cheap.
