Asda are doing Jameson, Bushmills and Aberlour( nice drop) for £15 at the moment, all much better than Grouse etc

We have a poxy little Tescos for scotes like me, and a poxy little Waitrose for the wannabe toffs.

I think she occasionally goes into the big city to shop - Banbury.

Must go and have a looksee.  Aberlour is a fine drop of malt and certainly worth a dabble at £15......   ;)

Aberlour, Balvenie, Oban are fine wee drams.

I wouldn't clean my alloys with Grouse...........

Just my opinion and taste.

Low flyer (ever seen a grouse fly?) is the popular bar choice round my neck of the woods, followed by Bells. To me, its cooking whisky or ideal for the base of a man flu hot toddy. 

Some die hards also favour Cameron Bridge ( a grain whisky) but I wouldn't use it to strip
varnish, let alone make a hot toddy!!   ;D
