Some friends and I did a bit of a whisky tasting Easter Monday. One chap had three of the ALDI (or is it LIDL?) single malts that came as a job lot for £15 each (!) and a Glenlivet. I had a Singleton (Dufftown) and another chap had a Strathisla from Sainsbury's. I'd rather have been drinking a Grouse than any of the cheapsters, and it is probably the least offensive of the cheap blends. The Strathisla was very nice. I do not consider the stuff from other places. My youngest daughter once bought me a bottle of something Japanese that was well reviewed, and I think it was quite expensive but I took one taste and gave her the bottle back. It was horrid. I have drunk illegal things that were more palatable. I was quite unpopular!
