Easy Drinking Whisky: Sign Us Up

We keep hearing whispers about Jon, Mark and Robbo's Easy Drinking Whisky. And honestly, everything we hear, we like. We've also checked out their website, and while we don't always believe everything we read on the Web, we like the cut of their jib. For one thing, they consider their scotch to be "whisky with jeans on." For two, they recommend enjoying their whisky with a burger and fries, instead of foie gras or whatever else you might expect scotch drinkers to eat.

According to their recent press release:

The whiskies will appeal to family and friends who like the idea of trying something which has become a favourite amongst industry insiders. Jon, Mark and Robbo have a refreshingly simple approach to whisky drinking: “We believe our whisky is the best there is for us and the great thing is we’ve chucked out the rule book, so drink it where you like, when you like and how you like, it’s for enjoying not worshipping,” says David ‘Robbo’ Robertson.

We like the sound of it, and we've heard talk that Jon, Mark and Robbo's Easy Drinking Whisky is available here in the states. We haven't seen any of the three varieties - The Rich Spicy One, The Smooth Sweeter One, and The Smokey Peaty One - in our liquor store yet, but we'll keep looking.

Read the full press release here, or learn more at Jon, Mark and Robbo's site.

Update: We found a list of liquor stores that carry Easy Drinking Whisky, currently only in California, Colorado, Illinois, New York, South Carolina, and Texas, at The Scotch Blog.
