A Bad Bottle of Scotch

You know, sometimes you just have to lay it out like it is. I'm here to explain why bottom shelf can hurt your future tasting of a style of spirit. Don't choose bottom shelf because it is cheaper, try something worth your money. I'm drinking Scoresby Very Rare Scotch, it cost me USD $7.99 for the 750ml bottle.

Scoresby is quite a tasty bottom shelf blend..... I agree it is no Laphroig. But.... it is a very smooth, cheap blend. With hints of Islay and excellent on the rocks. Never could it compae to a Highland Park.; But... It is an excellent cheap blended Scotch..

@davem62290 For me, if I'm going to buy a scotch that's got some soul, I'm going to just foot an extra 15 bucks to get an extra 20x better product. If it were 1-for-1 on taste, perhaps, but it's not too much of a stretch to spend a wee bit more to get something entirely tasty.

@dandywankers Yeah, it's actually fairly round :)

Well said...Scotch is the most unique type of spirit. People shouldnt start drinking scotch with a single malt but neither with a 7$ bottle. Your examples of quality blended scotch are ideal. Chivas, JW black, Dimple, Ballantine's 12 y.o. are always a safe choice for starters. And after that once you go malt, you can't back.

Highland Park is a really nice malt btw.

@ch00089 Highland park came as a recommendation by a few viewers and someone close to the family who is from Scotland :) I figured, that's enough to trust the purchase.

@davem62290 I hate Scoresby scotch!Spend the extra 3 or 4 buck's and don't break the account and by some Grants or ballantines instead or maybe John Barr.Scoresby sucks and so does Passport,inverhouse and J.B. all sour and premature.Scotch isn't really scotch until it's 8 year's old.

@fund4mentcook See, everyone's different. one of the folks commenting on our latest ABV episode said: "I'm surprised Chivas ranked so high, it's the only blended scotch I've tried and think it tastes like crap. It made me not want to try another blended, I'm all about the single malts."
