I wrote up those old <a href="http://recenteats.blogspot.com/2007/09/whiskey-wednesday-trader-joes-scotch.html" rel="nofollow">Trader Joe's Single Malts</a> at the time.

They really found a good one for their bottling. Seems like 80 percent of Irish whiskies that are "named" (Michael Collins, Shanahans, etc.) are Cooley. But, they tend to hold up well. Trader Joe's also really has grown through the years in their selection of whiskies. A few years ago they had a number of single malts from an independent bottler that basically sold TJ's the dregs of their selections. You could get a 20 year old Macallan for $20 -- and it tasted as you'd expect. They've improved since then, considerably. whiskyguyrob.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966901496135780943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-84680058978614371752012-12-10T12:01:56.439-08:002012-12-10T12:01:56.439-08:00That's a fantastic deal SinoSoul.
