If I want to get into drinking scotch what should I start with?

Just grab a 12yo bottle of literally anything and you''ll figure out what you like over time

Single malt. Like Anon said, something pretty old. Pour it over ice in a tumbler and enjoy the way it slowly gets weaker as the ice melts. If it's too strong all you have to do is sit there for a couple minutes it's a classic ritual.

I've heard that Balvenie 12 double cask is a good starter.

Whisky is always drunk at room temperature, and usually already mixed with some water.. What sense does it make to buy expensive alcohol, then dull your tastebuds with cold?

Start off by trying single malts from Islay, highland and lowland, see which region tickles your fancy.

Are you just upset at the realization you've literally been watering down very expensive products?

Do you like smoky, peaty flavors?
If no, start with highland. If yes, then lowland or speyside distilleries.

OP don't listen to these fools. Diluting a whisky is fine but ice also chills it, which kills the flavor. You want a splash of water in your glass, not an ice cube.

The fuck?

Moreover, he lists lowland or speyside as smoky but not Islay

Why are we having these threads all the time now, what's going on?

Hey fuckers! What's a good inexpensive single malt whisky? I want to get something for a small Christmas party, but I don't want to spend a lot.

Start with this.

Taste dozens of other whiskeys over many years, then come back and try it again.

Realise that it's the best single malt on planet Earth.

i would rather take a bite of roadkill than have a drop of scotch in my mouth ever again
