Best Scotches Under $30 Grants Family Reserve & Rob Roys

[@trhoads07]

I like this new idea for a series. I don't make mixed drinks but when I am at a bar and they don't have a good selection of quality scotches it will be good to know what to order as a mixed drink.

A good mixed drink may come in handy as you conquer Azeroth! Tread lightly adventurer!

Grants Family Reserve is my preferred scotch to use with Drambuie for a Rusty Nail, delicious.

[@Scotch4Dummies]

I thought about starting off with a Rusty Nail but thought it may be too cliche. That seems like the only cocktail people know is made with scotch. I'm sure it will end up in the series somewhere though. -Shawn

[@FaithsFallen]

LMFAO at those whisky pours DUDE IS PISSED!

[@WhiskyNeighbour]

Great video and a solid idea for a series. Cheers!

[@Scotch4Dummies]

It should be fun I hope. -Shawn

Love the stuff you guys have been pumping out, Grant's usually costs around $40 bucks here in Australia so its that's a standard price a "cheap" scotch...we pay so much tax on alcohol here... :(

[@Scotch4Dummies]

Thanks for watching Zack. We try to keep things interesting and this one was fun to do. Sorry you get hit with the high taxes. We are always amazed at the price difference around the world. I don't know why the governments always go after the booze. -Shawn

I really enjoyed this cocktail video, a nice departure from the regular reviews. The drinks look delicious! Cheers Shawn and Andrew🍻

[@Scotch4Dummies]

Thanks Richie! I think we have worked out the kinks and the next one should be really interesting. -Shawn

[@themaltedmancave9499]

Awesome video guys:) Great information and very practical for the newer whisky community. Cheers!

[@sundayeveningscotch4978]

Nice video! We had Rob Roys at the Deanston dinner if I remember correctly.

[@alexli4361]

nice video!

Grant's was my go-to scotch before I decided to branch out and try as many different whiskies as possible...

[@Scotch4Dummies]

And now....where does it fall on your "go to" list? It's kind of a trick question, as I literally poured myself a JW Black last night which used to be my go-to nightly dram.... I was so pleasantly surprised with it and it brought back that old familiar happy feeling! LOL, ~Mark

[@foodquig]

Nowadays I blend my Grant's family Reserve 50-50 with Hiram Walker's Special Old. I often start my flight there. It cuts out the graininess of the Grant's while adding a lot of caramel and toffee and increases the complexity. One of my subscribers gave me the recipe in a comment... Another *great* blend is 1/3 Cutty Sark Prohibition to 2/3 Famous Grouse Smoky Black. It's a bang for the buck experience worth more than what the bottles cost put together.

New series! Hot dang! Love it boys!! 👌🥃👌. Super interesting to hear the background music. Been thinking of doing that for my whisky reviews too! Cheers!

[@Scotch4Dummies]

There is a story behind the music. I'm sure we will talk about it on the live tomorrow after a couple of drams. -Shawn

[@bryanwalker1737]

Very nice addition to what you guys normally do.

[@cliffo7702]

No chivas regal?

[@Mike-yx8jo]

I just made a Rob Roy last night with JW Blue.... fantastic !!!

[@Scotch4Dummies]

BLUE? That's an expensive mixed drink! ~Mark

[@Mike-yx8jo]

Scotch 4 Dummies - go big or go home!!! How would one live without at least 10 bottles!!!

[@GeorgeKnew]

Teachers is well worth a try... SUPER price too!

[@MrRobinsonlife]

I love Grants it's my go to!

[@LanceDeSousa54]

Buchanan deluxe 12 is my preferred scotch.

[@Scotch4Dummies]

That is a surprisingly good scotch ! - Andrew

[@TelextheWhiskyTech]

Now I know what to do with this bottle of Bell's I still have =)

[@Scotch4Dummies]

Wait for my Bells video. I may have a better idea for that one. -Shawn

[@WheelHouse1of1]

Not my thing to mix drinks but maybe i can start making drinks for my wife to get her start drinking some real juice.

[@Scotch4Dummies]

Not a bad idea! ~Mark

[@madmax1436]

grants is among worst cheap scotches. i'd better buy some cheap single malts (Mc'Clellands, Shieldaig, Auchentoshan) for same price. or just buy vodka

[@Quacklebush]

all those you named are almost double the price of grants tho????

[@joesmith488]

It taste just like it cost $5.00 dollars less than CUTTY.slite taste of burnt car tire.cheers.

[@Durian1st]

Sipper beware with the G. Cask Edition (FLAT Sherry), it has the most weird nausea nose: uncooked dry squid smell blended with oninion combined with uncleaned stale cigarette ash tray. G. cask Edition = Unpleasant arroma, period. Taste is VERY Bland, watery, especialy with that puking note. To the point that had to pour it to the sink. Lower shelf $ tag doesn't mean have to come with uncooked dry squid onion nose. If I was a mix type, I would rather go with other whisky, or even cheap rum better than this. Not for a good cook. Pass this.
