Had scotch twice in my life. Both real bad experiences. First was back in the early to mid 80's while attending Humber College. We were at pub night on a typical Thursday night. Three of us left to check out something and came across a bar room set up for officials etc of the Canadian College Basketball Finals which were being held at our north campus. We decided to sneak in for free booze. I said I was a guard for SAIT. I pointed at a bottle and said I'll have a rye and ginger. I got scotch and ginger. It was bad but I couldn't waste it.
The next time was about three years back at Christmas with my wifes family in Calgary. One of her cousins is married to a British guy who tried to ween me onto scotch. It was a great until the next morning when I was sick as hell. Turned out it had zero to do with scotch and all to do with their kid who brought Norwalk with him from his pre-school in Vancouver. I still won't drink scotch even though it wasn't the culprit.

Thanks for the reply, 1argoholic.

I will just say, that there are many variaties of Scotch.

Try the more expensive ones, at 60-80 dollars a bottle. Though admittedly, I really don't like paying that much for Scotch, either. I prefer Irish Whiskey. Black Bush, by Bushmills, 39 or so a bottle. Can't go wrong.


Or, the new Devil's Cut Bourbon by Jim Beam. Presently on sale for $30 (regularly 33). It is one smooth tipple. Seriously. Almost enough to get one banned from a forum. It is that good. User discretion, is advised. Though I suppose that goes for all Whiskey and Whisky.


Cheers !



I'll shut up now, before I risk getting banned.


Ka' Pla !
