Elvis Juice for instance is an IPA infused with grapefruit juice. Sounds horrible doesn't it
But try it, before judging it

That shit is truly awful
I'm sure it was only invented to get under age kids drinking alcohol
I've heard of (but not tasted) Tamnavulin. A Scottish guy I used to work with always asked our boss for a bottle at Christmas. When the rest of us were asking for bottles costing half the price.
Are you saying the version I posted a photo of is a cheap copy of a more expensive Tamnavulin? In my opinion, £32 is more than enough for it to be the proper version.

Bought a bottle of that in the local Coop.
Very nice for 20 odd quid whilst on offer.
Unfortunately my nearest sainsburys is about 50 miles away, so won't be able to replace...
How does it compare (taste wise) with Talisker & the other TCP specials?

PS...
Why does everything have to be matured in a barrel it should have never been in contact with? It seems to be a fascination these days!

Seems strange they don't do it to the "bog trotter liquor" Favoured by the Babycham drinkers

If you trawl the Glenlivet website you will find several products
www.theglenlivet.com
that proclaim peculiar qualities without any age statement. There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with the product but it’s being marketed on the back of aged whisky of stated provenance. It’s how Pernod Ricard operate just like the Singleton brand owned by Diageo and pretty much everyone else. Fresh distilled whisky is gin clear and much added flavour and colour comes from Sherry, wine etc., barrels from other brands in other Countries owned by the same drinks conglomerates. Good business innit?
Fundamentally you can’t meet (& profit from) rising demand with aged whisky because you know exactly how much you’ve got in the warehouse from 12/15 whatever years back. However, if malting barley is available you can run more stills and label printers and have a ready reserve of young whisky you can style however you choose. Probably 50+% of your clientele wouldn’t really know the difference. The best bit is they perceive a bargain where you see an even better mark up.

Not strange at all.
It's simply because you can't improve upon perfection
Bushmills & few others do occasionally mess about with proper whiskey. Flavouring it with honey or stout etc. But it's far more rare than the Scottish drain cleaner versions.
Anyway, don't let us keep you from doing your hair & makeup for tonight. Hopefully you use anti smear lipstick. Or it could bring new meaning to the words "cock ring"

I had some of that grapefruit juice at a neighbour’s instead of coffee. It’s definitely hipster brew. Not unpleasant but I wouldn’t rush to repeat. I know I’m a miserable bastard but I somehow doubt it’s technically ‘infused’ like a tea bag so much as dosed like squash!View attachment 13906
That's me sorted for Friday night
I've already tried 3 of them
Hazy Jane (regular version) = Nice
Punk = Very nice
Elvis Juice = Delicious
All 3 have fallen into the category of "taste them, don't judge them by what it says on the can"

Your Babycham is on the bar waiting for you
Elvis Juice (stupid name) is my current favourite brew
It'll be a great drink on a hot summer day
What I don't like about it, or any other "craft" beer is the crazy prices. Those 12 x 330ml cans (Coca Cola size) should have been £15 for a multi pack. I paid a bit less cos the box was damaged. But it's definitely hipster beer in terms of its value for money/bang per £1
