That all makes sense. Hats off to the moderators, you guys clearly put a lot of time and effort into keeping the forums running well.

What makes you say that scotch whisky and the like is for beginners?

Spelling, that's all. Spirits are so personal and dependent on accompanying food, drink or smoke I can't offer any great advice beyond that. Sorry, it was not my intention to confuse anyone.

No worries - I suspect I was guilty of reading too much into the comment. Originally Posted by MisterMoo

This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

If you're Canadian chances are you started with rye whisky (as I'm sure most of my countrymen will attest to): Crown Royal, Canadian Club, Royal Reserve, Silk Tassel etc - basically anything that was in Dad's liquor cabinet LOL
IIRC the first bottle I bought when I was of age was Jack Daniels, probably for no other reason than that's what real men drink in the movies.
Nowadays I prefer Bourbon and Scotch but as I stated above, your beginner selection is likely to be determined by your parents' stock (or whatever you can get your hands on
) rather than personal preference.
