Malt whisky drinkers: Did you start with blends and has anybody gone back to them?

[Magicpole]

Glenmorangie was the first whisky I tried, second was Johnnie Walker Blue. Can't say I'm keen.

Just as well you never started on Bells. That would have scarred you.

I understand I'm a bourbon drinking heathen....I know my place, but for any US blues, if you can get this ...Try it, really good

Acceptance is the first step to redemption.

Have a bottle of this on the go. It's rather nice.

Indeed it does.

Talisker is a nice drink though, whoever bought it for you must have realised your effeminate ways, and was trying to help.

I bought it for myself, but your point is still valid!

I have just started trying Whiskeys. Splash of Ginger 1 ice cube in a Scotch Single Malt is so far my choice of imbibification. Although being a greedy **** is definite drawback to drinking the stuff.

I love a good scotch, but theres a lot of it i cant be doing with. The really peaty stuff like Laphroaig is really unpalatable to me.
I admit i am more keen to bourbons though, the Eagle Rare im drinking at the moment is really nice

Talisker is alright mate, I go to Skye every year and stay not far from the distillery, we've been a few times.

Ignore Bilbobob, he's not a happy chap at the moment, they mustnt celebrate Christmas in the shire or if they do he must have loads of Tooks around eating all his cheese.

Why put ginger in a single malt ? Might as well fuck up a blended and save a few quid

Auchentoshan, is a particular favorite of mine

I dont say this often Andy, but you make a good point. I like ginger (s).
