Ave you guys seen it? Pretty cool. The lady in the advert is pretty smokin' hot, too. (No vulgarity intended. Just admiration.)

The ones with Claire Forlani?

Yeah she's a babe, but that renfaire Scots accent is a little off putting

Lol. Yup. She was talking? I didn't notice. Lol.
(friendly jibe, no mysogeny intended.)
Seriously, though, the accent was a bit phoney.
;-)

Okay, she's interesting, but let's get serious. Is the Scotch interesting?

I met Claire in New York City when she was filming "Meet Joe Black," starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt. I was in Manhattan for Fleet Week back when I was an active-duty U.S. Marine. She is even lovelier in person. As for a dram of Dewar's, I think I'll pass. There is a plethora of far lovelier drams for this laddie's palette.

Cheers,

It is interesting to see some of these old blends looking to update their image. Dewars, Jonnie Walker, Pinch, Haig & Haig, Black & White, Cutty Sark - these take me back to my grandfathers afternoon cocktails.

Love the JWalker ad with two fellows pushing a Volvo P1800 in the rain (having had some seat time in one circa '73). The Dewars ads made me smile although I hadn't a clue who the woman is (as opposed to recognizing a 50-y/o sports car from glimpses of fenders and lights LOL).

My preference is Jonnie Walker. I rarely drink but when I do I prefer a Scotch straight, although there is a cocktail I've been drinking for years called an "Aggravation."

Basically it is a "White Russian" with Scotch substituting vodka. Very rich, though. It is more of a dessert cocktail.

I tried a Rob Roy a while back...it opened a rift in subspace and I was temporarily trapped in 1920 as a result. Lol. Just kidding. It was a VERY manly-man drink. Put hair on my chest, it did. Aptly-named drink, that.

Heh, that's one of my favourite cocktails (or mixed drinks, as it doesn't really qualify as a cocktail in purist terms). I use heavy cream in it. It's delightful.

As for the commercial, yeah, I've been seeing it on TV for a while now. Kinda cheesy, in my opinion. The accent is hokey, and she reminds me of my sister-in-law, which causes an involuntary grimace on my face.
