I just do not understand all the hype about it, because it tastes disgusting. Quite often I'll come across a character in a novel that will be crazy about the stuff, even when it makes no sense for that character to be so fond of it (ex. they'll be...

The variety of tastes of single malt scotches is a treat for connoisseurs, like yours truly.

@LamontCranston Connoisseurs? Okay, but to me it tastes the way I imagine petrol would taste.

I remember reading 40 or so years ago Norman Mailer saying he drank scotch because there was no hangover. So I switched to scotch and he was right. Several years later when I quit drinking I realized the reason why there was no hangover was because I wasn't sober long enough to get one.

I’m not a fan, my first encounter was at a younger age and got so sick I’ve never touched it again . If I even see the bottle I urge 🤢. Lesson learned !
Just a nice tasting glass of wine 🍷 for moi ☺

The older gens were/are obsessed with cigs and scotch, and it's probably as simple as being pounded (maybe pun intended) by media about it.

DLight

@Magicianzini Yes, and I've noticed those saying that it's good here on this page are all over 60, and they're men. Old men.
