I have had a lot of good material from various stores mainly in Southport but lately their attitude has changed a lot with the take it or leave it trend. |

Just sampled it and by hell it's a good 'un. Grouse blended with some of the peatier Island whisky's.......well recommended....gonna buy afull bottle at weekend if it ain't too pricey..... |

I believe it's best served from the fridge or freezer, it keeps catching my eye in Adsa. Just wondering |
