Good lesson for you, dblshot.
IMO, they should be required to put a skull and crossbones on gin labels..

I've not seen "Scorsby"....is this what I'm looking for?
If so, I'll head over to the ABC store to see if they have it.

They used to sell the Green in a small bottle that was very expensive for what it was, but was still affordable for a rare treat. The Blue is a wonderfully smooth drink, but its flavor is not quite as clean (IMHO). However, I’ve only had it once, so I’m hardly an expert!

Sorry, couldn’t open your pic. My spellings probably wrong but if it’s close, that’s it. Anyway, it’s available here in the ABC stores in bama. Really, pretty damn good and much less than even Dewars.

That’s “Scoresby”. Just googled it. Pretty interesting. Been drinkin’ it for years. Didn’t know a thing about it except it was good. And cheap!! Hard combination to beat.

I have never tasted Scotch, but W.E.B. Griffin in many of his books mentions Old Grouse as being the best. I bought a bottle a couple of years ago.
I do not know what to do with it other than tell folks that I have it.

For the normal people out there, who don't ever worry at being stopped for DUI, ABV = alcohol by volume.
Stuff they should be teaching in the third grade right alongside "the joys of gay sex."

I got off FR just after I posted that last reply, walked over to his house and he said “I think it’s time to make the transition”, which means I need a scotch.

Lagavulin? I'd as soon drink paint thinner.
Laphroaig for me, please. The ten year old is just fine.
New one I just ran across is Glen Moray -- very warm, very light, very smooth - typical Speyside dram.
And Black Jack? Come on! If you MUST drink a blend, drink The Antiquary. An Edinburgh whisky, very light, very smooth.

Whoever wrote up this list has been reading Michael Jackson's book and believing it as gospel.
If you like Lagavulin, you WON'T like Highland Park. Ditto Talisker and Laphroaig.
It's a strange collection. The only one I haven't actually tasted is the Bailie Nicol Jarvie, but that's what the Beautiful People at the Festival drink - so it probably isn't any good.
