Wife brought home a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label yesterday. Billed me (obvs). Only £17 though. Rather good for a blended whisky.

Yep agree with that , I had a bottle 3 or 4 years ago , sometimes they can be ignored Chivas Regal is good too.

I've always got a bottle in, at 20 quid and below you can't go wrong, tastes far better than a lot of whisky and it stops you draining the more expensive ones so quickly.

Off topic, even if there are some lovely blended whiskies.

We also talk about blended malts also such as JW green label and that is tasty too.
So stop playing the ref
Oh no I've picked you up on it which means I've played the ref. Damnit I'm stuck in ref-ception.
Anyhow I'm off to find my microstars Koeman spinning top to work out if I'm in the real world or not...
I received an early birthday present today, Isle of Raasay single malt, not one I’ve tried before. So far so good, , it’s lightly peated and closer to my favourite Highland Park than it is to traditional “ peated”.

100% in agreement here. I'm not a fan of JW, but can't speak highly enough of the quality of Chivas Regal as your daily go to single malt.

If it tastes as sexy as it looks, you are the winner. Happy Birthday

Agree with Highland Park. Not my no.1 but high on the list.
That the whole point of JW, in a nutshell.
The Black is OK for what it is and the cost.
All the different colours are better (not red obvs) slightly better but, IMO, but not double or more the cost better.... based on the exorbitant Australian prices I pay.
Its a marketers triumph is all.
I was going to buy a Chivas Regal. With a go then?

I like it particularly for £18 when possible..
Sorry to go on about Australian pricing but £18 ffs, that's AUD. 33.42, last week I bought it at AUD 66 and thought it was a barginI was going to buy a Chivas Regal. With a go then?

It's not just Whisky, it's everything.
Back when everything had to be sent from the UK, there might've been a case for a cost increase. But those day are long gone...but not the retailers mark up.
Take Wrangler Jeans, made in Vietnam or Cambodia or such. 4000kms to Australia - 8000kms to the US, still twice the US price.
