Blended Scotch Whiskies {Luxist}
Feb 24th 2006 8:24PM Funny that someone would point to a $200 blend as something that would "shut up a single malt snob"
Unless you are referring to a snob as someone who buys on price and not taste.
Blue is good. But not $200 good.
The Chivas Royal Salute (shown) is a little cheaper and much better.
But I can show you dozens of single malts which put both of those blends to shame for $140 cheaper.
I also pretty much guarantee that in a blind tasting you couldn't choose between the $200 JW Blue and the $70 JW Gold.
