The best "swill"?

Just went looking at the NH website, filtered the selection by price, and saw brands I'd never seen......

I understand that there are times when the cheap stuff is appropriate -- I make Christmas suet puddings, and I certainly don't buy top-shelf brandy for those.

An interesting thread this. As a whisky (and gin) drinker living in Scotland its interesting to see all the blends available elsewhere in the world. Mainly here its Grouse, Bells, Whyte & Mckays, then you are mainly into supermarket own labels. Out of interest I had a look at the link in this post. If you filter the search to single malts, all the good stuff is there. I see you are paying a lot, even by our standards for 18y Macallan. The 15y old is a good bit cheaper and I have to say at the price, indistinguishable from the 18y old. My favourite is Cragganmore. There was a time when this was a low(ish) cost malt, sadly it is becoming a "special occasion" half now. "half" is the traditional term for a shot of whisky.

I should have added Pig's Nose to the blend list in my previous post. It's now on the NC list. Since White Horse is no longer on the NC ABC list, it's time to buy something else like Glen Salen. This is a good inexpensive blend, light enough for most home parties. It's a blended/vatted malt. Taste is between single malts and Teacher's. There's not the alcohol jolt that Teacher's has now. Very smooth.
