Now I know
I've always thought there was something inherently wrong (apart from the exorbitant pricing) with Chivas Regal. Now I know. It's made by Clan Campbell.

I did not know that. I only know that it tastes like it was made by Clan Satan.

Haven't touched the 12-year old in many, many moons (though it was, at one time, pretty decent, with a subtle, heather-infused smokiness lurking beneath the sweet malts and grains). Just doesn't do it any more.

Never had it.
A few months ago, I got the stupid bug and bought a bottle of crown royal black. Jeeze, that was not good. It should have been a warning that crown also comes in maple flavor. It's time to pick up a new bottle of scotch sometime soon; I know not to get chivas now. Never actually thought about it, anyway. Wanna know something else that stinks? Lots of people I know of have been going nuts over the apple pie stuff, and I found a jar of it on sale at target, so I decided to try it. Well, anyone who's ever thrown up apple schnapps will recognize it. |

May want to try this one instead...
Chivas may 'suck the bag', but Inveraray Castle (seat of the Duke of Argyll, head of the Clan Campbell) is a beautiful place to visit.

I've seen a documentary on Inverary...I *might* be able to suspend my disdain for the Campbells long enough to visit...once...

And then you could always pay a visit to Loch Fyne Whiskies, located on the main street of town.

Hey gumby... When you're in Scotland, ask some lads if they'll give you the "Glasgow Grin" to bring back with you.
