Scottish Leader

[BCAC]

I really should not walk down Main Street to the liquor store for lottery tickets, but the lasses in there are so darn pleasant. Today, whilst waiting my turn I was of course perusing the Scotches. One I had not seen before, Scottish Leader, was only 15.99 USD for a 750l bottle, so grab it I did. When I got home I tasted it. Not bad really for a blended scotch with no age on it. I googled it and was surprised to find it pretty much confined to Scotland, and rare even in Britain. I took the last bottle too.

Busy day tomorrow in my home shop. Need to weld some patch panels on my old Ford truck and my son's 2003 Focus. Once that's done I can have a wee dram or two!

So if nothing else, I did get a deal!

Aye you did get a deal, especially if you only paid $15.99 for a 750 litre bottle!

In my mouth it does not taste bad at all. But my budget doesn't like it.
In Finland:
- € 31.90 per 1 litre bottle (=about US$ 44.30).
- € 17.48 per ½ litre bottle (=about US$ 24.27).

Gee! My 1st taste was not bad. It will disappear.

Cheers!

There are a lot of quite good, reasonably priced malt whiskys out there collecting dust on the bottom shelf. The old Pure Malt Glenfiddich blend and Old Fettercairn single malt comes to mind. They were once $25 a bottle. Now that they are popular they magically are worth $60 a pop.
The heavily advertised ones generally aren't as good and you get to pay for the advertising.

Aye, and they had to dust this bottle off before selling it to me!

Cheers!

But, it probably cost several hundred dollars to rent the forklift to carry it home.
