May I recommend Highland Park 18 to a 'Whisky' drinker. I prefer the Scotch stuff over the Irish personally and Highland Park is made in Orkney. I visited the distillery when I was twelve with my parents.
Not the best Scotch there is but it's certainly up there and one I'm very fond of.
being Scottish, Ive been feeding on scotch forever.
I do like American bourbon/whiskeys - faves being J. Daniels/Buffalo Trace/Bookers
Scotch Whisky faves are: Oban/Talisker/Laphroiag/Mortlach
Just so much goodness in Uisge Beatha!!!!!

Correct me if i'm wrong,but, I was at the local liquor store and was looking at the Mallacalan behind the glass case and it was $900 us. a bottle!
Whiskey? Pfft.. drink Tequila! Tastes like airplane fuel, but I haven't gotten a hangover from it yet!
We play drinking games, so last time I took about 15 shots. The problem is that the drunkenness comes after half and hour or so. I also drink a lot of water and eat food before going to bed. Maybe thats why I don't get hangovers.Ugh! I used to do the salt and lemon thing back in the day but it's horrible. If you haven't had a tequila hangover then you're not trying hard enough because when I've woken up s*faced and f*ed up up on the stuff. Come to think of it, I was probably trying too hard ...
When it comes to scotch, the cheaper and nastier the better. To me, a good scotch is one that makes you shudder ... smooth, fancy-pants, quality yuppie brands don't have the same effect.
Having said that, I drink very little these days, just a slug of scotch before bed at times. That started because, at one point, it seemed that every person who lived to 100 would say how they'd have a shot of scotch before bed. It seemed like the healthy thing to do ...?
