Back in the pre-eM, J & D days I was crazy for the single malts.
I spent time pondering scotch on oh so many levels - even thinking about what kind of ground the water flowed over before it was collected and used by the distillery. Yes, I know...
Anyway, if you're like me and you're on a budget it's extremely hard to justify spending the cash to keep a supply of the single malt stuff.
A friend's dad recommended the well known blended Dewer's so I gave 'er a swirl. Good, but I thought it a little bland. I've tried a few other blended scotches since then and I've settled on Johnnie Walker's Red Label (just a reminder that I am in no way paid by any manufacturer or service provider). Nice flavor profile and you can buy it in a big 'ol jug and often on sale!
Now some of you may be thinking, "sillyDaddy, scotch isn't a summer time drink." Well I've got a simple "recipe" that I find INCREDIBLY refreshing.
