Julian2 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 What's the chances of that cheap 'scotch' we see on shop shelves actually coming from Scotland. My mate swears it's from India. I did a google on my preferred brand, High Comissioner, and saw it available in the UK for Pound 2.68 a bottle. Surely they couldn't sell it with 'made and bottled in Scotland' on the label if it wasn't. I buy it in Burma for 390 baht a 2 litre bottle. Interestingly the hugely popular Hundred Pipers revealed no clues to it's source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I think that these scotch whiskys really come from Scotland, but AFAIK in most cases bottled in Asia, maybe Thailand or Burma or India. Who buy those low quality products I've never found out, the thais I know never drink anything cheaper than Black Label/Chivas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian2 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 "Who buy those low quality products I've never found out," Err...yeah, well...I'd be absolutely digusted with any one who drank crap like that myself. Bit like drinking Chang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Chang is the best beer in LOS in my not so humble opinion. Actually it's a copy of Carlsbergs elephant beer but better than the original. Chang also use Carlsbergs old trademark the elephants btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Munchmaster Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I also heard that some of the real cheap whiskies, with the names that nobody in Scotland has ever heard of, come from India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I've seen "Scotch" for sale that has allegedly been made in France. Huh? A neighbour gave me a bottle of Whytehouse. It says it is blended whisky ... mixed with Indian spirits! Pretty bad on its own, but drinkable if mixed with coke or whatever. p.s. One NEVER mixes good booze with anything! Save the mixing for the cheap crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
