Okay, you need to come to our next Gathering.To have a good liquor in a balloon glass and warm it with your hand and ...sip...ahhhh! If you have a really good liquor...it just....evaporates in your mouth. Makes your tummy warm and spreads out. Totally spreads through out the the body and relaxes you. Cool, huh? (That's just me.)
Peace.
Not to encourage the idea that you or anyone else needs to try Scotch, your post reminds me of my introduction to the drink. I had been trying a variety of popular liquors (one at a time) and it was Scotch's turn. I looked forward to seeing what the fuss was all about, did a bit of research and chose an affordable single malt, McClelland (note: not Macallan, which is far more expensive).Have tried it, but not much of a drinker to begin with and can't even get past the smell of Scotch to give it a real chance.
Not an uncommon story with scotch, some people can turn nasty on it. My brother likes Irish whisky, Jameson's in particular..
But then I decided to give up Scotch because I tended to drink way too much of it to become someone else who would be responsible for my misbehavior, not me. And while this was a handy setup, it was also frightening. I was afraid I'd lose all my friends and loved ones. I ended up switching to Irish Whiskey (please see the Irish Whiskey thread).

At first I couldn't drink it without adding some kind of soft drink (relax aficionados). The taste was just too, well awful. But I'd bought the damn stuff and damn if I wasn't gonna finish it. Soon, I found that my taste for it began to change, and I was able to start adding just water.
Having completed that experiment I was ready to dry a different type of single malt, called Islay, which is produced on an island, the process for which involves the burning of peat. The resulting flavor was quite interesting in a disgusting way. I think I donated what remained, choosing to stay with one of the other four types of single malt Scotches. But by now I'd become a Scotch drinker.
Then the Islay became hands down my Scotch of choice.
So, my experience has been that a person's taste for Scotch can strangely change; a phenomenon somebody might understand scientifically.

lol... I keep trying to learn to like lima beans. I've read they're spose to be very healthy. I still don't like them but they no longer make me gagI've learned to like sweet potatoes and squash just recently, too, so know what you're saying about tastes changing but think I'll stick to adding vegetables I never used to care for rather than acquiring a taste for other alcoholic beverages. At least I can be reasonably sure I won't do anything silly or get a headache after ingesting those and the occasional glass or two of wine or beer is enough for me. I know you're not suggesting I suddenly take up drinking so not meant to be a rebuke--just explaining why I probably won't bother giving Scotch another shot (no pun intended).

I decided to try it. Poured a little bit, because when I try a promising taste, I don't mix it.I don't often drink liquor, but when I do, I prefer Captain Morgan's Private Stock.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend mixing it. If you want to mix something, I would choose an inferior product.I decided to try it. Poured a little bit, because when I try a promising taste, I don't mix it.
My, that is tasty. On the edge of a dessert drink, and there are certainly worse desserts. It's good enough that I don't want to mix it with anything. Thank you for a new bad habit!
Mixing is why we have Bacardi, and J&B, and Cuervo, and Seagrams, and Absolut, and so on.Yeah, I wouldn't recommend mixing it. If you want to mix something, I would choose an inferior product.
