I have a house guest who has two bottles of whisky and wants to give me
one as a gift. If it were malt I would know which to choose but don't
know either of these.
Quick straw poll - which one?

JW Red. If you think 'average (but drinkable) blend' then you'll be ok.
White Horse I (perhaps unjustifiably) put into the 'spoon cleaning'
class.
Besides - my great uncle was the head cooper for JW in Kilmarnock before
WWII so it's sort of the family brand :-)

Cheers. I had a memory that one of the blends - and I thought it was
White Horse - had a good proportion of good malts but it was probably
something else.

White horse has somewhat of a smokey taste, more so than JW Red. Otherwise
both are good everyday drinks.
But "never look a gift horse in the mouth", so the White Horse wins.....

Everyday drinks? You mean this Ardbeg 10yo is not an everyday drink?
Damn, that's where I've been going wrong.

The Ardbeg 10 is three to four times the price of JW Red, where I live.
I think those of us who keep "every day" drinks around that are not
single malts often do it for budgetary reasons.

White Horse must be really bad. I use JW Red as my cooking whisky.

"If it's not good enough to drink, it's not good enough to cook with".
