After reviewing the Aberlour Casg Annamh Batch 3 this week, the question came up during our review how would this compare to the Naked Grouse.  I thought it would be a fun experiment to put towards a blind to see if the $30 could hold its own against a few others.    🔗Want to help support our channel?  https://www.patreon.com/Scotch4Dummies 🔗 Rating Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/yanjbner 🔗Join our Chat room using discord: https://discord.gg/u7HjJYQ  🛍️ Merchandise:...

After our recent review of The Royal Salute 21, it made us think about how it compared to JW Blue.  It had a great nose and palate with that smooth subtle taste that we all know JW Blues has.  Therefore, we thought it would be fun to put it and a few others (Dewars 18,  Royal Salute 21, and a mystery bottle that Mark is putting in to mix things up) against each other in a massive blind tasting.  Will JW Blue stand out?  Will price end up being a factor?  Let's find out! --- Support this...
