Scotsmac

I'm drinking Scotsmac. I went to Asda this morning when I was hanging out my arse to buy stuff for a fry up* and I think I was still a little bit tipsy, and I went to buy some scotch in case it came to the evening and the shops were shut and I wanted to drink again, but I found this stuff which basically tastes like sweet wine with some whisky in it. I'm not sure whether it's terrible or fantastic but I feel like the world is a better place for it's existence. It describes itself as "a blend of Mature British Wine and Fine Malt Whisky". God bless our great civilisation.

* Fry up details:

Porkinson's© sausages

button mushrooms, quartered

Heinz© baked beans, microwaved

hash browns

Hovis© medium white bread, toasted and buttered (Clover)

unsmoked back bacon

jesus christ alive, why does this exist? and why wasn't i informed earlier?

i'm going to asda tomorrow, i shall let you know about my conquests.

sounds terrible

interesting... must try it. your fry up looks awesome - porkinsons bangers fucking rule.

Id be interested to know what this actually tastes like.

I tasted a sherry cask finish scotch at the Copenhagen whisky festival 2 weeks ago, it had quite a subtle sweet aftertaste which came through after the scotch. I want more of that sort of drink.

bollocks, went to Asda this morning... will have to purchase next week!

i had some Caol Ila 59.4% single malt on friday night at this whisky bar down edgware road. it was fucking potent.

getting through it... still can't decide whether it's delicious or disgusting, I'm so infatuated with the concept of it that the flavour is irrelevant.

please all purchase and tell me about how it made your life more exquisite

£3.50! lol

Isn't this just a variation on fortified wine, with whiskey instead of brandy? You'd be better off with a cheap bottle of port.

I couldn't possible be better off sir

also, i tried a bourbon once mixed with port (around 38% alcohol), and it was one of the most hideous drinks ever created. So i would guess that i would not be a fan of this scotch and wine concept.

who wants to lend me a couch to sleep on so i can come and destroy my live with your fine uk spirits?

damn it

i drank this (forced it down) as a whipper-snapper. nasty stuff for a young palatte... spewing inevitable.

Never seen this before - first thought is it sounded like a Whisky Mac - whisky + Crabbies Ginger Wine

Could you just mix cheap whisky and/or Rye whiskey with a good wine bottle to do the same?
