Tesco Value Scotch

      I recently found myself, completely by accident of course, in the midst of Tesco's alcohol aisle. Naturally I was confused as, being 17, I have never seen a bottle of alcohol before. Due to this confusion I forgot to leave the aisle and instead began looking through the many bottles of these elixirs of life (well, I assume that's what drinkers might call them, obviously I wouldn't know) and as well as the normal, acceptable brands that I have read about online but, as previously mentioned, never drank, there was a bottle of Tesco Value Scotch Whisky. Again, I have never consumed whisky of course, nor would I consider myself a lover of it who owns a 18 year old bottle of Glen Marnoch. In fact I've never even heard of Glen Marnoch, I just wrote some random letters down. But I have sat down and spent several evenings just holding glasses of scotch to smell. It's a therapeutic thing. Really therapeutic. So when I see a bottle of Tesco Value Scotch I know that it is not possible to produce a quality whisky for that price and if you can't make a quality whisky you might as well not make one at all. The reason I thought this merited a blog is because a year ago I decided the creation of a Tesco Value Scotch would be a sure sign that one of the seven seals of hell was broken. I have now discovered it was actually produced at least in 2007, from an article that lists in its see also section "Tesco Drain Cleaner".
      So that was my blog on something that I of course will not know anything about until my 18th birthday next year.
