I have a business partner who always orders Famous Grouse.
[I have to qualify “partner” these days...]

Tried Famous Grouse after I noticed that all the wealthy and astute of W. E. B. Griffin's WWII marine and maritime characters were drinking it. It is indeed pretty good and also reasonably priced. I've often wondered if he got free bottles from the distillery.

I buy The Famous Grouse by the 1.75l for about $32 plus tax. That’s for “every day” drinking, not that I drink every day. The distinction is between a common Scotch and a Scotch for an occasion.

When I want to splurge, it’s Glenlivet.

I’m considering purchasing a 250ml bottle of JW Blue, just to see if it lives up to its rep. A Christmas present to myself.

Famous Grouse is somewhat hard to find, but it’s a great value for a blend.

If money were no object, I would go for a single malt - and that malt would be Lagavulin. I am partial to Islay malts.
