Title: Famous Grouse Whisky
Post by: Vamps on 01 November 2008, 17:22:32
£11.00 for a 1.0L bottle in Morrisons, limited to 3 per customer, said to swmbo we will get 3, ready for Christmas, as I usually just drink the cheap stuff during the week. :y

She said it will not last till Christmas :-? I have no idea what she means. ::) ::) ::)

I have a really sad situation here...father-in-law is a fanatic Scot and has a large selection of single malts. Unfortunately he has developed a medical condition which prevents him fro drinking at all so I have to help him out   :D :D :D

Ouzo or Rak[ch305] same thing actually..But there are many variations..Mostly Greek prefer softer styles where as Turkish prefer a bit higher alcohol content..

I must say that once in history in Ottoman Empire days these two nations share many things and learn many from each other..So now its really hard to say which belongs to which..Even in Romania there are many foods and meals same Turkish and same name..Now who is the owner :-/

Who knows..So I think debating about that not logical.. ;D :y

Also I must say that I like Ouzo sometimes..But Rak[ch305] have another special usages..For summer time Ouzo is better and dont knock you down..

For winter sometimes Rak[ch305] with special food (and fish) is really mmmmm ::)

And I like Scotch whisky like Chivas but not with food..Only..

And the taste have another place for me :y
