I spend my life calling English people Sassenach, none of them know what it means! It's the opposite of a Highlander (which I am) - we are called Teuchters (pronounced "chookter")

This thread is in my wheelhouse. I have 50 bottles of Scotch in my collection currently and have tried well over 200. It's made to be enjoyed so dont let anyone tell you how to enjoy it - if you want to put coke in it then go ahead although I personally wouldn't.
I can give recommendations for any budget, feel free to PM.

I only mention it with come because I tried it and I don't think those flavors were made to go together. I would never try and shame people into disliking it because I dislike it.

That's the closest distillery to my home so I have a great love for it. The King Alexander is interesting and worth tasting if you have the cash, but for me the best is the relatively humble 15 year old.

Glen Grant were kinda an under the radar distillery who were best known for contributing to blends, but their stuff is now widely considered to be excellent and great value. That is a really good value and decent bottle you have there. If you see either the 10 or 12 year old version anywhere that will be really good and shouldn't be too expensive.
But yeah, fruity will be about right. Light, crisp, might get a hint of apple and vanilla. An entry level flavour profile rather than a big smoky bastard.

Opened the 15 tonight. Very nice. Strong citrus like mandarin and brown sugar with aroma of vanilla. Still like the cigar better, but definitely better than the rest of the Scotch's I've drank here.

I'm the opposite, never been able to get into bourbon- what would you recommend? I keep hearing good things about Michters.

This distillery is a mile from my girlfriends house - her mother gets me a bottle for xmas every year. Great stuff!
Dont be scared to put a little water in that because of the strength, itll help it open up.

Mitchers is a very good one. I'm a big fan of a couple others in the same price range like Redemption especially their wheated reserve or Calumet. Want to go a little pricier you can get some Blanton's. Last night I was enjoying some of that Redemption wheated actually.

This is a bit of a sensitive topic for me. I’m a lawyer and lawyers drink scotch - that’s just how it is. I fucking can’t stand it. I have tried to develop a scotch habit so that I can drink it with the boys when it comes out but I just can’t do it. I have pretty strong alcoholic roots, the pedigree is there and I practice my drinking pretty routinely, I have tried the expensive shit, I have gone rocks, a little water, straight up - I just don’t dig it. I want to - I just don’t.

i have always liked the johnny walker double black. nice and smooth.
unfortunately, with my medication i can only have one glass. otherwise i get a really bad headache the following day.
after i began taking the medication i was at a wedding in summer and the aircon wasn't working. the beer was room temperature. so we hit the scotch with ice. so refreshing and cool. after i got to about half a bottle i was struck down. wanted to vomit but couldn't, couldn't even stand up. apparently i ended up sitting on a ledge and fell asleep for 2 hours. made it home without vomiting and crashed on the lounge as soon as my head touched the cushion. woke up the next morning and would have preferred to have been dead. i truly feel sorry for people who get migraines because if it was anything like the headache i had to endure for 8 hours the next day i don't think i could survive.
anyway you can't drink high volumes of alcohol with this medication and the doctor didn't tell me shit. i wanted to strangle him.
