Just using up a miniature from Harvey's , 8 y.o. in my late-night coffee. Very nice. Wonder where they get the whisky from, is it matured in Lewes?

Now Southern Comfort is my favourite tipple. However, it is not a whisky of any sort, more a flavoured Vodka than anything else.

Yes, it's not strictly a whiskey but it is whiskey flavoured and has some of the characteristics of a standard American whiskey and this a good place to start before splashing out £30+ on a bottle of Woodford Reserve that may not even like.

Islay is my personal favourite, and I did get an excellent bottle of Nikka blended from Japan - strong and sharp but definitely worth a try. "Master of malt" is a website worth checking out for research and purchasing bottles you wouldn't normally find in the supermarket

Try a Speyside malt (Glenmorangie standard or port finish would be good). They are sumptious and a relatively easy one to start off with. Then progress round the coast of Scotland and Orkney in an anti-clockwise fashion, starting with Highland Park and then try the Skye whiskies (Taliskar is a mildly peaty one). Then try an Islay malt (very peaty and many say an acquired taste (I personally don't like them but appreciate they have many fans)). Also try one of the lowland malts Glengoyne or similar, nice a refreshing they are too.

Puts me in the mind of one just now.......

Nectar of the Gods of that there is no doubt!
