There's a good many smoother blends you can use to ease in, perhaps a few drops of water added, maybe some ice. Definitely need to have dropped the ice before you get to anything good though, or a Scotsman will assault you without warning. I'm barely amateur at it I'm sure but there's as much tasting complexity as wine to go through, I'd wager.<br /><br /> Something like a Glenfiddich will taste hugely different to something like a Laphroig. Anyone not able to discern a change between the two is either already completely smashed or is drinking them many days apart.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41072.27&return_msg=41072.27" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41072.27"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41072_28"></a><div class="message" id="message_41072_28"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: milko<span class="message_time">30 May 2014 16:13</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Chris (CHRISSS) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 30 May 2014 16:16"></span></span> <span class="message_count">28 of 48</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41072.28">41072.28</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41072.26">41072.26</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I thought of another one that's fairly neutral for a whisky but sometimes on discount, Jura Superstition.

What do you call those things? (brain not working) He bought some pretty expensive stuff there which tasted just as bad as anything I've tried before. He said they recommended putting a couple of drops of water in the glass to mellow it. Can't remember I'd I tried that or not.<br /> <br /> I think the same with lager/beers though. Don't like them and they all taste the same to me. Cider and red wine is different though.

Of course, the price doesn't make it alone, it could still have been a very peaty one that you didn't like. The water drops isn't just to mellow it though, many people say (into wanky territory here!) it "opens the flavour up" and that kind of thing.<br /><br /> "lager/beers", hmm - I assume you mean within their own groups there, not that a pint of Fosters is the same as a Brains. I can't get on with many ciders, although I'll have a dry one on a hot day sometimes and it's OK. I'm not generally fussy about my booze, just don't usually like sweet drinks.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 30 May 2014 17:25 by MILKO</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41072.31&return_msg=41072.27" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41072.31"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41072_32"></a><div class="message" id="message_41072_32"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Chris (CHRISSS)<span class="message_time">30 May 2014 18:25</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: milko <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 30 May 2014 20:02"></span></span> <span class="message_count">32 of 48</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41072.32">41072.32</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41072.27#a41072_31" target="_self">41072.31</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Pretty much, aye. I can't say I think they taste much different. Different textures, yes, but the lagery/beery taste overwhelms anything else. Eugh. Dry ciders are definitely my favourite. Sweet ones I don't like. Makes it expensive when going places where lagers are cheap and everything else isn't.<br /><br /> Distillery, yeah. I thought refinery first but I think that might be something completely different. Well, whatever it does to the flavour I don't think I'll be drinking it any time soon. Vodka I'd be happier with. Not tried anything better than Smirnoff for that.
