i do prefer my single malts, but then again you cannot beat a good jamesons so must give this chivas a try even if it is blended.
good tip; always keep at least two bottles in the house.
like in my case,
1 bottle of the better stuff to drink straight. glenmorangie here at the mo
2 bottle of something cheaper for mixing. i have 2 of these a bells and a grants.
i spent a month in poland and all you could get in a bar there is ballentines. it seems ok but the poles are not used to it.
they tried getting me slaughtered on different vodkas. so got them a double whiskey each (straight). out of 4, 2 were sick 1 ran out and never saw him again and the other stayed drinking with me.
