J&B

[zeade]

J&B smells like a sock but doesn't taste too bad with a beer and another different Scotch preceding it. As a third drink of the night it's hard to make a strong statement of quality that has any lasting, but I felt like writing (I should be doing work... on a Saturday, woo). At an $18 price point for a blended Scotch it's not bum quality liquor,

Way back in the day, I worked in a liquor store while I was in grad school. Aside from the horrible generic vodka-with-brown-food-coloring that we had private labeled as our store brand, the worst Scotch on the shelf was this truly crap stuff called Ballantine's. Comes in a bottle that's got a rectangular shape to it. Sometimes, you'll see it at *really* horrible dive bars as the call Scotch

Poor dead drunk :(. I've had the supposed better quality single malt Ballantine's a couple times and it's just never been a tasty Scotch to me for what it costs. I've never tried their gutrot.

2d00r says he wouldn't wash his windshield with Macallan 18. I have to remember to bring him something more suited to his tastes the next time I go to England.

is quite a snob! I haven't had Macallan 18. I have a bottle of Macallan 15 I need to open at some point. I lub the 10 year oak barrel stuff for the price point. One up from low-mid rung single malts I've enjoyed recently is the Glenfarclas 12 year (approx $40-50 at BevMo).

I have a secret affection for the trader joe's relabeled single malt scotches.

I've tried a couple of the Trader Joes labels, but the quality varies greatly it seems from bottle to bottle. Pretty decent for the cost though.
