Following on from non scotch people question

[meredith101]

Can someone tell me why some people get so into scotch whisky? I've tried a lot of them, can a little little bit understand the enjoyment, but can't understand why some people get so into them and pay so much for them. I have tried the old Taliskers, Jura etc, not just JB and Bells.
Also, do they not make you pretty ill pretty easily?
I guess it may be like wine, I used to hate the stuff, yuk, now I can't get enough of a decent bottle of good red.

Tliskers is OK, but a bit sour for a single malt.

Try a Glenlivet and work your way up the price structure.

I believe a single malt is one of the few things in life you get what you pay for. Quality really does reflect price.

And if you have any blended left like JB or Bells etc, then do the decent thing and either throw it away or give it to the local hobo.

lol, thanks Bewlay.
I tried Oban 14 yrs, that was my fav I think.
I will try a Glenlivet maybe tonight and let you know how I get on.
Thanks
hic!

Scotch is an emetic, vile stuff, excepting possibly Johnny Walker Black Label. You get all these 'experts' sniffing around malts, it's all vile, Scotch water, the Dee the noo, is no different from the Wandle. Fish pi$$ in it, and down here people too. I once even saw someone crouched over the parapet of a bridge with his trousers down, so it could be even worse, directly bypassing the Beddington Sewage Farm. Initiative, I call it.

Yes but this is 14 YEAR OLD fish **** we're talking here.
