New to whiskey...

I'm new to whiskey. (Or whisky?) And I drink it neat. So far I've tried a few different kinds of single malt scotch. Dalmore. Aberfeldy. Highland Park 12. I'm too old to suffer a hangover, so I stick with the good stuff. I got a bottle of Dewar's. It don't make me sick. But I can tell that it doesn't have something the others do. Any recommendations?

I dont recall ever having Dewar and since I dont know what flavors you are seeking in your whisky, what you might be missing. Tell me about what you enjoy in what you are drinking. Is it the smokey Peet, or maybe is it the sweetness that you are seeking. What does a good whiskey taste like to you?

@nonsensiclesnail To be honest, I haven't figured that out. I'm kind of new to this. I need to find a whiskey tasting event.

@Prisoner1972 Or maybe even a good whiskey bar with knowledgeable staff and a lot to try.

@Prisoner1972 You didn't disappoint me. I figured it would be impossible anyway, but I had to check.

Im not a whiskey person.... but i do like it with milk.

Yeah, yeah, dont scream at me in shock - its a really nice drink before sleep, (smoother flavour), and the milk makes it sit better in your stomach and softens the blow next morning.

@HumanEarth I just looked in the corner of my basement and I resurrected a 10-year-old unopened bottle of Jim Beam. I bought it duty-free on my last cruise.

What proof? The higher the proof the better it aged
