Too new to the scotch world to really have acquired a taste for it. I've tried some of the different types though. Lagavulin was too peaty/smoky for me, but I didn't think it was terrible. I've also had some of the Dalmore which I didn't think was bad. I'm watching this thread though, and I'll figure out some of the other brands I should try while just starting out. Probably should find something a little sweeter, or something like that. I'll let you guys know if I find anything once I can get back to drinking. Being at tech school in the Air Force has limited my freedoms. That's ok though, I should be able to hit up the bars here on Monday
