It's the only acceptable way to drink scotch. ETA and omfg do I miss cigarettes.

[jennysmitten]

I don't like scotch or whiskey, but the expensive stuff does taste better. Still not good enough to drink straight though.

I do like Johnny Walker Blue. I don't know if you remember, but I bought herbal cigarettes during my Mad Men binge, they were a flop. 

I'm a loser dork.

I do remember! Blue is delicious. And you're not a loser dork. Unless you're fucking with the neighborhood trashcans.

[rupertpenny]

I can't get into scotch. I do like whisky though.

I'm not a fan of cigarettes.

All of the above. I've been dreaming about cigarettes. lol

I have dreams where I'm smoking, and I wake up and I'm sad. Just one puff!

I always feel like there's an aftertaste of Lysol. It's weird b/c the Puerto Rican women drink scotch, a lot. I've tried it with coconut water, that's what they mix it with a lot. It's better than straight up, but nothing I love.

I might have to try this!

[killercupcake]

Whiskey is growing on me. I've been mixing it a lot and am hoping to one day move up to drinking just whiskey.

I haven't ever had cigarettes, so I can't speak on that. I'm guessing I won't like them.

[vicky]

I love Old Fashioneds.

Scotch kind of tastes like I imagine melted plastic would. lol. I do like a couple of brands - Balvenie is okay, and I had a Jura once that I liked (but I was already pretty buzzed when I tried it). I hate stuff like Lagavulin and Laphroaig. H was really into scotch for awhile so I've tried a lot of the more widely-available stuff.

I love Laphroaig and Macallan, and Glenlivet. I miss the days when half a drink didn't give me a migraine.

[rupertpenny]

My H loves Laphroaig. It doesn't smell like something a human should ingest.

[zoidberg]

Yes to whiskey and scotch.

I fucking love cigarettes but quit smoking years ago. I think about them all the time, and view smokers with envy. If I live to be 90 I am starting again.

[VeryViolet]

I like bourbon though I definitely can't drink it neat. I like it with a little ginger ale or if it is really good bourbon just over ice. Also, I miss cigarettes so much that I know that having one is a terrible idea.

[1confused1]

My stomach just turned. I had too much of the cheap stuff so I can't stand to even smell it.

I used to smoke. I don't recommend it.

I actually think it's better without the ice. The flavor completely changes when it gets cold. I love the warm feeling you get when you drink it neat. I definitively didn't always like it, though. I really love bourbon. Woodford Reserve is fantastic. What about Old Fashions? I love those!

ETA: Never mind, I see Old Fashions have been covered. LOL

[scottyderp]

It is so gross.  I only like red wine.  White when I'm feeling like I want a baby shower buzz.  Cigs are pretty good, but they have to be Marlboro Lights.  I haven't smoked in ages, but I LIKED IT.  It's terrible.

[shopgirl07]

Gross. No to all.

[darkling_glory]

Yes. To both.

There is nothing better than a scotch and a cig. Except maybe coffee and a cig.

I miss smoking so much. It was my favorite.

[anyastroud]

A great aged scotch on the rocks for me thanks, although I have encountered some ok whiskeys I like

Don't start smoking though. It's a nasty gross addictive expensive habit (says the smoker)

When DH an and I were on our honey moon he ordered Manhattan or maybe it was an old fashioned I can't remember. (I believe they are both whisky based drinks, it was because of mad men.) I finished it for him because he didn't like it.

Good scotch is good. Cheap scotch is terrible. And over ice is ick.

You're right. I like whisky of the non scotch variety, particularly bourbon. 

[MrsAxilla]

Yes.

[bugandbibs]

Whiskey is my drink of choice. Good stuff on the rocks. Jack Daniels in a gallon jug for mixing with Diet Coke and a lime wedge.

I like wine too, except red wine. Which is blasphemy around here.

I only know thanks to my scotch loving H. It used to confuse me until I realized it's much like all pinot is wine but not all wine is pinot. 

I don't drink much bourbon, but I don't hate it. I just have to avoid bourbon that puts the wort back in because then it's no longer gluten free and may make me sick. Scotch is a much better bet for me personally, lol.

mofongo - drinking scotch over ice will stifle the nose. If anything add one drop of (room temperature) water. Whiskey is strong and definitely has a burning sensation and like certain things, it's an acquired taste for many. So you're not alone. 

[adhdfashion]

Love whiskey. I don't like cigarettes.

[elenetxu]

I love rye.

[aprilsails]

I like whiskey, but I really love rye and bourbon specifically. I have no taste whatsoever for scotch. I also agree that they all taste best neat if you just want to sip them.

I cannot stand cigarettes, but will take a puff off the odd cuban cigar if someone else is having one.

There are whiskeys that are more newbie friendly that have a vanilla or other taste. A personal favourite in our house for gifting is Spicebox, which is a really mellow whiskey. DH and I can polish off a bottle just sipping it straight.
