Not when the retail on JW is usually higher than the single barrel

Yes, because it's a very overpriced, very overrated brand. You're paying for the name on the bottle, not the drink inside it.

The opinion that you expressed is a bit snobbish.  Just because something is a blend does not mean it is inherently cheaper and or worse.

I didn't mean it that way, I only meant to point out that the categories are not directly comparable. And Johnnie Walker in particular is a sub-par, overpriced blend.

Someone here should get me a Glencairn whisky glass for my birthday next month.

Stop being lazy, earn some money and buy it yourself.

Like I said, I don't think that JW is worth it, For around the same price there are single barrels that are better. But I don't think that means that all blends are simply done to be economical.  My people are always on about blends not being proper, but I just don't think that they are correct.

Having some Glenfiddich 15yo. I think it's the oldes whisky I've had so far. It's good, and it's nice with a few drops of Talisker as well.

8/10.

I don't know what those glasses are, but I will send you a bottle of cheap bourbon for your birthday.
Just don't send me Kentucky Gentleman. I don't want that less than average crap.

Sunday will be my first alcoholic beverage in 3 weeks.  I haven't decided what I will consume first.

I think I'm the only person I know who prefers vodka over all other lickers.

But in fairness good vodka is gorgeous. Might be making assumptions but I guess it's hard to come by in the US.

I haven't had good vodka in a long time.

Enjoying some wine right now.

I'm mainly into German beers, and not so big on hard liquor unless it's Jagermiester, which is amazing.

Vodka will do just fine too. I also like Irish Car Bomb, which is a shot of Bailey's dropped in Guinness.

The shot must be a 50/50 mix of Bailey's and Jameson.  You take a shot of Jameson, follow it with a car bomb.

Had a few long drinks last night, spaced out with lots of water. Still feel like shit this morning but that'll be the kidney infection not the booze causing that.

Now having a glass of Ballantine's blended scotch. Better than Hankey Bannister, but more expensive.
7-8/10.

Hankey Bannister gets very much improved when blended with a little bit of Ballantine's.
7/10.

I am having some limited-edition, cask-strength Lagavulin. Aged 12 years and bottled in 2011, this is definitely among the top three whiskies I've ever tried. It may even come to displace Talisker as my all-time favourite.
I'm going to side with the white supremacists.

Feck, arse, drink!

On a side note, I'm not drinking any alcohol because it tastes like shit.

Incorrect. I think one of the few times I enjoyed a drink was when I had a 40oz malt beverage. I think it was called a King Cobra and is supposedly what bums buy because it's so cheap.
