To be honest, I prefer Bell's.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059712069593608891.post-12626962338246607592017-01-10T12:43:25.938-08:002017-01-10T12:43:25.938-08:00JW Red Label in my view is certainly inferior to G...JW Red Label in my view is certainly inferior to Grouse, it was effectively export-only for some years before Diageo tried to "reposition " it in the U.K., or at least England. I haven't seen any evidence that it's worked.<br />JW Black is a diffferent kettle of fish, although as our man says, premium blends are a tough ask.
