I did check things out and the S&H is a killer. I doubt if I'd ever do that.

If you are serious about it, there are a couple places that offer free shipping when orders go over a certain amount. We could group buy spirits to save on shipping.

I wonder why this isn't available in the US? JW Black is my go to as well, so let us know if the comparison holds up.

Well, I opened the bottle of Grand Old Parr last night and tasted a healthy dram. First of all, let me say, that this is a different character of scotch than JW Black. Old Parr is excellent, for what it is, but it would never replace JW Black as my go to scotch!

I’m no real expert when it comes to reviewing Scotch, Rums, Bourbons, and so on, but I’ll try to give my impressions of this libation. For me, this is a very bold, aggressive style, that has a very impressive flavor profile. I really enjoyed my first trial of this blended Scotch; however, this doesn’t impress me as a scotch that I would reach for very often; although, I will definitely enjoy it from time to time.

Nose: Heavy Malt, Raisin and Orange, Very Big.

Palate: Very aggressive, Oily, with strong nuances of Malt, Raisin, burnt Caramel and a light touch of Brown Sugar.

Finish: Very long, Oaky, with a touch of Peat/Smoke and, a touch of Sweetness.

What site are we talking about? Count me in for combined shipping if you want to proceed. Thanks!
