I can't.

My Talisker Christmas present tastes like smoky meths.

I don't care. You can't leave the table til it's finished

Talisker I find tough too, in particular without showing it a bit of water. Best drunk after various other whiskies as a last taste before becoming comatose.
Often, the drained glass still smells fantastic in the morning.

Missus bought me a bottle of single barrel Jack Daniels and a 10 year old Jura for Xmas

Both very nice

I got a bottle of 16 year old Tomintoul (pro. tom-in-t'owl) Highly recommended. Certainly the best I have ever tasted. Extremely smooth with a wonderful flavour.

I have never had a glass of whiskey. There! I said it.

I've tried, but when I get the glass to my mouth the smell of the whiskey makes want to wretch. I just can't stand the smell.

I spent over £70 on just 2 bottles of the stuff for the missus for Christmas
:

Have to try that next Christmas, rather than the usual Chanel No 5. She'll smell nice with bit of Glenmorangie dabbed behind the ears.

Used to feel the same way about Brandy, guess it is just one of those things, but worth the effort to overcome for the taste of a good whisky.

I had exactly the same problem with Gin & Brandy......once I got onto the "good stuff" things were different !

Brandy works really well with a nice Cohiba too !

I don't like brand either, or vodka, but for different reasons. I used to dring quite a bit of Southern Comfort, but I can't go near that now either!

Just the thought of Southern comfort makes me feel ill!

Have you tried Ledaig single malt from Morrisons? It's made by Tobermory and is the best £18 single malt I've ever tasted.

The first impression is of a calmer, less challenging Ardbeg, then a less firey Bowmore. But this whisky certainly doesn't lack definition, it is wonderfully light but won't reward you with the long rolling subtly changing tastes of a more expensive single malt from an island but it certainly tastes more expensive than £18!

I once paid £180 for a bottle of whisky from the defunct Islay distillery Port Ellen; this is nicer.
