First and foremost....this review is meant for people who believe that whisky is meant to be enjoyed on a relaxed evening, and not supposed to intoxicate you. Now.... let us see what does one seek in a good, well blended whisky? First is of course, the smoothness. Whisky should be easy to pass through your body. Secondly, whisky should be relaxing. It should shake off all the fatigue of the day. Lastly, whisky should be refreshing. For people who agree with me, let me introduce you to the pleasure of taste and finesse - Blender’s Pride! True to its name, this whisky is really a matter of pride for its makers - Seagram’s. The Indian blend I could find closest to the traditional Scotch, I believe that Blender’s Pride is a whisky that is most aptly suited for the Indian connoisseur. Priced between Rs.450-Rs.500(Premium Whisky Range), this bliss in a bottle is the perfect thing to enjoy after a hectic day at work. I have always believed that whisky is a drink that tells you about its quality with its first sip. For scotch buffs who believe that Scotch whiskies are the only worthy drinks in the world of whisky, this is one whisky you should not miss!
The biggest plus point of this whisky is the relaxed feeling it gives you. Right from the first sip, it is pure joy. The tingling taste, the exhilarating feeling, the smoothness...its everything that a shot of whisky should have. But this whisky is strictly meant for people who believe that whisky is a ’’gentleman’s drink’’. In other words, for people who know when to stop. I honestly feel that getting drunk is an insult of the drink. You should be elated, not drunk! Once you master this art of drinking, you learn to enjoy the whisky....and others learn to enjoy your company. As for a review, as I said earlier, whisky tells you about its quality right from the first sip. And I assure you that the very first sip of Blender’s Pride is the best review for this whisky. It is bound to convince you that you have at last found the ’’perfect’’ blended whisky. So the next time you go for that shot of whisky, be sure to try this magic. Blender’s pride is truly a ’’blender’s pride’’. Cheers to Seagram’s!
