stag1933 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Very little interest on savings currently. But GREAT SAVINGS on slurping at MORRISONS today. FAMOUS GROUSE WHISKEY at £11.98 per LITRE. I took 6 bottles into custody this morning, sip and save ! HWH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyH Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Cooking whisky.... ! For the same price or thereabouts, visit Lidl and get their sort-of malt, really very palatable and a damn sight smoother than Grouse. That's when I can't afford Inchgower, Old Pulteney etc. Favourite blended whisky is J&B. I hate Morrisons, crap supermarket, poor variety, never enough tills open so you queue for ages, lousy customer service, and (in my local branch) they have the cheek to charge £2 for parking which you then have to frig about reclaiming.

stag1933 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Well, each night I take half-a-tumbler of whisky, 6 spoons of sugar and top it up with boiling water. I do not mind if it is Bells, Grouse or even Lidls Piddle, whilst downing this I take two painkillers and then trundle off to bed. We have NO problems here with Morrisons other than that at times they are very busy. HWH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stag1933 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Well guys my `medicine cupboard` wasn`t QUITE empty, I did have two-and-a-half bottle of Bells and a Speyside Malt left ! Because I have more in stock doesn`t mean I will drink more. Just a case of drinking cheaper in the long run. HWH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millwall Paul Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Cheers Stag, my old man loves Grouse and with christmas on it's way he'll think even more of me if I buy him a bigger bottle hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotsgun Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 God, save us from the gut rot! If you must drink a cheap whisky then at least try an Ardbeg or decent Bowmore like their 12yr single....however, if you want to skip off to bed with a sm ile on your face then try a Tomintoul 16yr single malt - that's a gem.

Zaitsev Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I prefer them to be at least 20 years old. Then I can definitely skip off to bed with a smile on my face.... Speaking of which... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratwhiskers Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Z' 20' year old's are a lot better, if you start playing with the 10' year olds all you're going to see is the inside of a prison cell mate!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alled12 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I collect whiskey on a small scale, but I have recently been put onto aged bourbon, to get the equivalent whiskey you would pay double the price!! Try any of these with a little water and pain killers if neccesary: Elijah Craig (strong but lovely) Gentlemen Jack Woodford Reserve (smooth) There normally about £25 a bottle but I have to say they are worth the money.

JR__ Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 They're selling the 'black grouse' over here, so picked up a bottle the other week..Better than the usual I think, a peatier blend.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyH Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 FAMOUS GROUSE , £12 PER LITRE TODAY AT MORRISONS.HAVE JUST TAKEN 3 INTO STOCK. HWH. Instant headache juice! I saw that offer, when (at the request of my spouse) I ventured into the seedy surroundings of Morrisons. Spurned it naturally, but thought I'd try a surprisingly cheap malt called Glen Moray at only £14.99/70cl - it's not bad! A very slightly medicinal Speyside, clean, goes down very smoothly... Best blendeds are IMO J&B, and Baillie Nicoll Jarvie, quite palatable - Bells, Teachers, Grouse etc are paintstripper by comparison. Yours (Glug!)

stag1933 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 If you prefer your Glen Glug at £21.41 per litre then go for it . Personally I will stick with the Grouse or Bells at £12 or so , 6 spoons of sugar and boiling water. The two painkillers I take at the same time are for my arthritic shoulders not a bad head. Morrisons will be pleased to note that you consider their stores `seedy`. HWH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyH Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 If you prefer your Glen Glug at £21.41 per litre then go for it ... It's all about quality and flavour, surely? Though if you're adding sugar and hot water, perhaps you're not bothered about such things! You get what you pay for, and though I rarely pay what's required to buy decent malt, the difference between that and supermarket whiskies such as Grouse is, well, enormous... Grouse etc do have their uses, and in warmer weather I drink my Scotch on the rocks - fill a large heavy tumbler with big cubes, half fill the remaining space with cooking whisky, top up with spring water. It would be a shame to waste single malt in this way. Morrisons will be pleased to note that you consider their stores `seedy`. I should worry? I detest Morrisons, thoroughly mediocre! They never used to be seen south of the Midlands until they took over Safeways, and just as well. I like Waitrose or Tesco, and for some things (Staropramen pilsner...) one of the newer, smarter branches of Lidl is surprisingly good. Morrisons is the only supermarket near me where I have to pay to park, then reclaim the money after shopping there, bloody infuriating. And their range of goods is crap.

Which-ever has my Grouse or Bells at twelve quid a litre can take my sponduliks ! [i am just sipping a large one at the moment, the pills come out later.] HWH.

I've never heard of B&M - some Congolese supermarket chain, maybe? Let me have your address and I'll arrange some Red Cross food (and booze) parcels. They'll only take a few weeks, by dugout canoe and native porters... What are the pills for? Malaria? TonyH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
