# I had a 'turbo shandy' once
that had Smirnoff Ice in it.
It was, frankly, minging.

Apparently it is half a Stella, a bottle of Smirnoff Ice and, optionally, a double vodka.

Tastes of fuck all and is quite strong. This seems to be a fashion in drinks that i just don't understand. I may be a raging drunk but I at least like my liver-necrosing poison to have some kind of flavour.

www.aberlour.com/abunadh/ ... the important bit being:

Today most malt whiskies are chill-filtered to prevent the whisky becoming cloudy when adding water or ice. This process, which did not exist in the 19th century, removes some richness and mouth feel as well as some fruit and sherry character.

# That's made me sad
"Booze would be better if we didn't pander to the tastes of people who don't even like it" WTF? The world's gone mad. MAD, I tell you!

# the problem being that most of the bread and butter money distilleries make is from selling young whisky for blending
the people who buy this young whisky have very little interest in someone bringing out 'real' whisky and saying 'all that other stuff is pish!' so it doesn't happen much.
