Alpha Edition

[Father Bill]

I found something new to me, and special to my pallet!

Behold: The Black Grouse Alpha Edition.



Yes, it's a blend.

No, I'm not a snob about it.

Yes, I like it. (Very much!)

Yes, I'll buy another bottle when this one is dead... and at this rate, it may soon pass some others on my rack. int:

Slainte!

Thanks, Bill. I am new to Scotch drinking and so over the Christmas season picked up a bottle of Famous Jubilee after reading some favourable reviews; a special blend prepared by the Famous Grouse distillery to mark Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee. I didn't want to blow the bank with some pish-posh single malt only to discover I couldn't stand the stuff. I have been enjoying Famous Jubilee, and look forward to expanding my pallet, but I can see have something just for sipping too. I will remember Alpha.

The other one that's hard to get (and afford) but which I love, is Aberlour Abunadh. Give that a shot too. (... or have a shot!)

I don't always drink blended whisky, but when I do, I prefer Dewar's 12. However, on your recommendation, Padre, I will give this Alpha Edition a try. Slainte! int:

For a clansman, glad to help!

The Alpha Edition is not available here. However, I did manage to find The Black Grouse -- Blended Scotch Whisky -- A Marriage Of Fine, Peated Malt Whiskies And The Famous Grouse.



I have had quite a few wee drams this evening and I must say, this may displace Dewar's 12 as my go to blended whisky. It has a beautiful amber color, smells of burning tires and medicinal alcohol, and tastes like an incredibly smooth peat monster! Wahoo!
