Thousands of litres of whisky flushed down drain
Was someone sampling before cleaning? D’oh! :smack:
Well, it could have been worse, it could have happened to good whisky.
In other news, water consumption is up 
There is an old Irish tale that says when you die, St. Peter sticks you upside down into a bucket filled with all the whisky you’ve spilled in your lifetime. If you drown, you go to Hell.
Somebody at Chivas is fucked!
Eh, so it took a shortcut.
Chivas ain’t great, but it ain’t bad, either. Poor whisky. And anyone who has bottles of Chivas they want to get rid of, just PM me.
Not too long ago there was a report about Maker’s Mark bourbon needing to water down production slightly because they did not have enough supply in the pipeline to meet demand.
I can’t quite see it yet, but these two events are somehow connected. Watering down in Kentucky and whiskey water in Scotland.
Blending Chivas and Maker’s Mark would be a heinous crime. I am surprised that they even allow Chivas to be produced in Scotland.
You’ll probably kill me, but sometimes I top off Chivas with a touch of Ardbeg Uigeadail to “stretch” the Uigeadail and give a peaty/smoky nose to the Chivas. Heathen I am.
Hee, hee! It happened a their Dumbarton site. Who was Arton, anyway?
So is fishing.
I’ve been known to do something similar with coffee. But the worst was when, being the curious masochist I am, I bought the cheapest coffee that was on sale at Walmart. (Chef’s Choice, or some such.) I mean, this shit was literally half the price of the next cheapest coffee, so I just had to see what the deal was, thinking “how bad could it possibly be?” Well, it turns out that coffee can in fact taste like the contents of an ashtray.
So before giving up completely on this stuff and tossing it, I felt compelled to try blending it with superior coffees, one of which was some special stuff hand-carried directly from Colombia. Yeah, committing that travesty upon otherwise great coffee was not one of my finer moments.
So, you “fix” blended whisky… blending it some more?
To hell because they’re drinking whisky, instead of good Irish whiskey?
are they drinking good Irish whiskey while eating jumbo shrimp & listening to stories of military intelligence?
There is nothing wrong with blended whisky. Johnnie Walker Green label is one of my favorite whiskies, and great value to boot. I prefer single malts for the most part, but this “single malts are always better” attitude is pure snobbery. There is nothing inherent about a single malt that makes it better than a blend.
Shh… don’t tell that the guys up there who insist on completely neat, always, or put in a drop of water that they import from a spring in the Scottish Highlands. And make “martinis” that consist of gin and the presence a dusty, unopened bottle of vermouth somewhere in the house, and don’t say they’re drinking gin because that would be uncouth and besides it’s in a wobbly glass that spills if you look at it wrong.
Ginen we left the house before dark-30 this morning, I either need to go to bed or have some coke. Cola or caine I don’t care, just sumpin to wake me up. Guess I should do the former as that one’s legal, huh?
Apparently green is being discontinued. Get some more while you still can!
This is what I heard, and I thought it was supposed to be discontinued last year, but all the liquor stores I’ve been to seem to have plenty in stock. And it’s still featured on their website, so I have no clue what exactly is going on.
America is better…
