Half decent bogo blended whisky has its place in a cocktail tho, quite partial to a Sour or a Julip.

This is the kind of nonsense dreamt up by rabid marketeers that winds me up .... < Shackleton Blended Malt Scotch is based on the spirit supplied to the 1907 British Antarctic Expedition, expertly crafted using a selection of the finest Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskies. > Is it really now? Tenuous much. The Master Blender says - “I WANTED TO CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON WITHIN THIS WHISKY.”
Well I am sorry Mister Master Blender but thou dost talk bollox sir. I think Sir Ernest was far from ordinary and mediocre, which is probably a kind assessment of your cheap whisky that shops are struggling to give away ...  "Blended Malt" gives away the market they are aiming at. If they were aiming at a whisky snob as myself they'd have called it a Vatted Malt....  |

It's neutral and inoffensive  |

I can’t cope with Glenfiddich....too many sessions in the pub in my teens finishing with the only malt on optic...then awful hangover.

Gosh that takes me back to my school days and the legendary Nag's Head pub in Manchester - it was Southern Comfort that did for me ...

Which Nag’s Head? Please don’t mention Southern Comfort! Nowadays it’s Jagermeister.

LOL. It was just off Albert Square. Had pool tables upstairs. There was a club a few doors down called De Villes ...
A lot of fun had there but also some horrendous outcomes ...

I'm tempted by Bowmore 15 for 40 quid on Amazon.
Any fans?
