You can appreciate whiskeys of all varieties, whether it be scots, bourbon, rye, irish, canadian or the japanese stuff. Whiskey is a beautiful thing. It gives you insight into the culture and the flavors. We can all have favorites, but we should respect whiskey, regardless of it's source.

friend said u need to drink scotch everyday for 2 weeks, 2 drinks/day I did that and now I can drink and enjoy it, why : because its "not" sugary, I have to be in a certain mood.... then it's pour, smoke blend the taste and enjoy and for some reason scotch hits me harder without hangover don't do it a whole lot but just feel it when the time is right...tequila is drink of choice followed closely by gin'n' tonic

Scotch has become a favorite and, as has been mentioned, blends nicely with a good cigar. Try a nice Talisker 10yr with a JdN DC. The Talisker 10yr has quick become a staple of my bar.
Man, I wish it weren't raining, I've got a couple Gurkha Centurions that I've been itching to break into... |

His mistake was the Mountain Dew mixer. Shoulda used root beer.

Try some 12 year old Balvinie, or even the 21 year old stuff. Take a sip neat and swill it around in your mouth. It will not treat you like the stuff you just tried, and should leave a very nice warm lasting impression in your gut!

Laga 16 is my absolute favorite, followed closely by Mac Cask Strength. But, for the newbie wanting a good scotch experience that's still authentic, Oban is hard to beat.

I usually stick with the Speyside single malts and blends, but sometimes something like Lagavulin or Oban is what is called for.
So many Scotches, so little time. Happy Holidays Les

Seriously, I can't believe this thread has gone this far and no one has said...
Dudes... put some good scotch in a glass and sip it... no ice... drinking it cold partially numbs your tastebuds and obscures the flavor to a degree. Sip a few glasses this way. Take it slow. Once you discover the full taste of good scotch, you'll never go back to pouring it over ice. Neat.
