With the what seems like the forever increasing prices of quality Scotch single malt whiskies it is pleasing to hear that one great value supermarket own label whisky has triumphed at this years International Wine and Spirit Competition.
So what is this must try great value supermarket own label single malt?
It is Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky which was voted by judges as the winner of the Single Malt Scotch Whisky Trophy with no age statement.

| I recall the old Sainsbury's Taste the Difference 12 year old Highland malt was pretty good, not tried the NAS version, sounds like it would be worth a try. |

Sounds quite interesting. Unfortunately, here in Ontario Canada there is no competition to the 650 retail LCBO stores which have a monopoly on all liquor sales. There are no independent liquor stores permitted and the LCBO stores are government run exclusively for those who may not be aware of this fact. _________________ "Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake."
