Tommy says, "Get what you need."

Perhaps the great philosopher, humanitarian, artist and songwriter, Mick Jager, said it best, "You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometime, you just might find, you get what you need." Sure I'd like to exclusively drink Macallan 25 year old, Highland Park 30 year old, Bowmore 50 year old, etc., etc., etc. But unless you're a United States government employee you probably can't afford the 1000.00 dollar plus cost per bottle for these fine whiskys! So what do you do? You get what you need! A 20 dollar bottle of The Famous Grouse. A mature blended scotch whisky with a mid gold color. The nose is toffee and caramel with floral notes as expected when malts and grains are blended together. The peat comes from the Highland Park contribution. The finish is smooth and mellow. The Scots known to be frugal (cheap) have taken this blended whisky to their bosom (Scotland's biggest selling whisky) because this one won't ruffle the pocket book. Slainte, Tommy Maaltman
