Man! My neighbor told me about this yesterday before I went to the store, and when I got to the counter and tried to recall the name, I was all like "derp derp Jackson? No that's not it. Jimmy... Jackson.... derp derp Stonewall? Jackson Stonewall?" And I seriously couldn't remember. I hadn't heard of it before my neighbor's suggestion. And now you go ahead and name it second post down. What are the chances? Sweet, thanks Al.  Smile

It was the choice of Christopher Hitchens:

After he died, I tried it because of his love for it.  I think it is very drinkable (straight; I do not mix my scotch as Hitchens did), but at my local liquor store, it is one of the most expensive blended scotches (if not the most expensive blended scotch) and costs as much as the cheaper single malts.  In my opinion, it is priced in accordance with its quality (that is, to get significantly better costs more, and it is significantly better than anything I have tried that is much less expensive).

Also, I disagree with Hitchens about it being the best breakfast.  For breakfast, I think a screwdriver is best:

Come now, we all know johnny walker black label is the breakfast of champions.

Are you mad?  Scotch doesn't mix with orange juice, and who wants to die from scurvy?

I have never had a bad day that started with a screwdriver.  Try it and see for yourself!

Scotch is for later in the day.  You know, midmorning and after.
