No foolin' I have been so pleased with the "Real Tesoro" Cream Sherry I have bought at Trader Joe's for the last 3 or 4 years that I tried their cheapest Whisky (Trader Joe's Blended Scotch, $9.95 per liter). For many years I have only tasted rather expensive single malt Scotch, a 20 Y.O. The Macallan being rather memorable.
Not at all bad with Jalapeno Chiles, green olives and peanuts. It made an interesting mix with the sherry as well. (Older "The Macallan" has been aged in sherry casks that evokes a number of images- oak forest to grape vineyard, to Spanish solara, to Scot Highlands). Recreated with a weak palate, cheap whisky and a splash of equally cheap sherry. I would really enjoy some blind tastings.
So, if DrDr Dipshit ever wants to pay off cheap, I'll settle.
