I'm with you on whisky. That's something to love. Got a bottle of Upper Ten and a bottle of Tullamore Dew lying here. Both are great, if for different uses.
I'd say that Tullamore Dew, with it's very smooth, easy taste, is a great beginner's whiskey, and it's better than a strong tasting smokey Scotch in the morning too. If you are in the habbit of drinking whiskey in the morning, that is.
Funnily enough, it's also my pa's preferred whiskey.
But upper ten is a really nice whisky, lot's of malt, very nice blend.
But then again, things also become nice when it's stored for a time. Hm, the Famous Grouse isn't all bad either.
