Four Roses. Low on funds in Indo in the 1970's, coming back from a few years travelling the North Western hemisphere, I could not afford Old Grandad, or other higher end bourbons, which is all I would drink at the time, when a Denpasar bottle-o had Four Roses, for about a quarter the price. Revelationary, it was superb, I thought it better than the premium brands, at the time. I haven't drunk for nearly thirty years now, but in the early 80's I cracked the seal on more than a few bottles of the roses and would drink that before any Scotch, any day, even though more than one Scotch drinker sang the praises of various single malts, or "private" blends. Personal taste I expect. One point regarding the whole Jane bollocks, as an aussie, who speaks the queen's own, I always assumed we could leave all that male female bollocks for the french speakers. Is it La Carot, or Le Carot? who freakin cares, it's a stinking vegie. It's almost as silly as these trans loonies inventing 70 odd pronouns they want to mandate they be addressed as. Personally I am happy to stick with , "THING".
