I think Kendall decided Abelour was his favorite, if I recall the results as we tasted various brands available when this thread started over a decade ago. That's about the only thing I know about that brand.

It always strikes me as unusual that some of you in the UK (or all of you in the UK?) can buy hard liquor in the grocery store. Most of the states I've been in will allow beer and wine sales in grocery venues, but higher proof needs a separate business. Only in Arizona did I see everything for sale in one place (and that was in Walgreens pharmacies - I don't remember if hard stuff is sold in groceries? They may need to be in a separate room because of minors in the store.)
