But it in bulk. Mix it with soda. Don't tell your friends.

The Johnnie Walker blends are really good, and I like their image, but there is no way this could ever end a thread about scotch when it has to compete with so many amazing single malts. Try again.

non disputandem digustibus est, i suppose.

So what's the consensus on Dewar's as a cheap blend?

Not awful...not great. Middle of the pack as far as cheaper blends go, IMO. I've had it when I'm at a local restaurant and it's basically all they have.

To the OP:

This is an awesome reason to start drinking scotch. Keep up posts like this and you'll go far.

If you can get hold of a bottle, try Te Bheag. It's expensive (I paid around 80 euros), and I'm not even sure if it's available in the U.S., but it's by far the best Scotch I've ever had (Balvenie used to be my favorite). I fell for it even before I tasted it, it smells so good. Develop your palette on the Glens and Balvenies and such first, though. And please, don't put ice in your Scotch.

I did some searching loads of online UK retailers have it but none of them seem to export to the US I think there may be some duties that make it difficult for 1 bottle at a time to go over.

I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down in my belly.
