Reportedly, when I was about 5 yrs old I spent an evening at one of my parent parties knocking back enough whisky to make me very ill. I just swiped adults glasses, took a swig and consumed a fair amount in the process. I have not really looked back from that day and love my whisky.
How many non Scottish people like Whisky?

I don't like whisky, perhaps I was too young to appreciate it when I first tried it and should give it a go again.
I do like a good brandy.

I like the Islay peaty malts (and am not Scottish). My brother swears by Talisker, the perfect gift (at about £30 a bottle!)

I like most whiskies, although in common with most of the posters about I like the island malts - eg Lagavulin (prob my fave), Laphroaig, Talisker etc.
The Speysides and Lowland malts are probably a bit more sophisticated, without the peaty phenols of the island malts. The Macallan is a lovely malt, Glenlivet too. Actually, they are all nice.
I also have a soft spot for Tobermory since we went to the distillery on out honeymoon.

Single malt man myself, splash of chilled spring water, crystal glass, job done. Think Macallan is about top of the shop, with Springbank from Cambeltown coming a close second but I would not turn my nose up at any of them.

I was born on the Island of Islay, where a lot of the whiskies, you are all talking about come from.
I have been around a few of the distilleries and had the free dram's at the end
Bowmore make superb ones and Ardbeg is lovely too.
Talisker from Skye takes some beating too.
Did anyone, see Oz Clark and James May, they went to Islay and visited the Bruichladdich distillery. TBH I struggle to like that one a little, but it seems to be popular any way.

I'm going to Islay in April, and I'm already saving up to bring back some of the single malts.
