Official Scotch of the Outback Bowl. |

Rumor has it that SoCal, the Official Namer of the Official Scotch of Badger Bowls, has chosen the entry for this year's Outback.
I can't wait to hear what it is! Bless the Badgers.

Well, I see that SoCal is too involved with witty repartee and pissing matches with Roundy's Ghost on the football board to actually respond to this important issue.
Let's just say that I have heard from very reliable sources that the Official Scotch of the Outback Bowl is: Glenfarclas 10 year. I understand the Glenfarclas 12 year, or even better, is acceptable for those with higher incomes. www.glenfarclas.co.uk/sin...taste.html Bless the Badgers.

So I went to pick up the official scotch today, and all they had was the 10 year cask strength Glenfarclas. Looks sweet ... looks strong at 60% alcohol ... looks expensive when I checked my charge card ... better be good or I'm holding SoCal personally responsible!
Bless the Badgers.

60%??? That's 120 Proof. Do they really have such a strong scotch? That's rocket fuel territory.

Thus, the longer it's been aged, the higher the alcohol content. Most of the time, a distillery will dilute the spirit with water to 80 proof when bottling. Sometimes, they bottle as is, yielding especially potent bottles of deliciousness.
