I didn't think I liked Scotch at all but when visiting my daughter in New Orleans, my SIL had one that was pretty damn good. Think I had a bad experience with a cheap one way earlier in life, maybe I tried to drink the whole bottle lol!
I am not a fan of the lowlands Scotch. They dry the grains by burning peat moss. That's the peated Scotch you hear about. It tastes like burning rubber smells I think. Like the inside of Harbor Freight. (Chinese rubber tires)
