I wondered whether that was the reason I struggled with whisky but then again I've had a few horrific days after with red wine, gin and tonic and beer (not necessarily all together) and it doesn't stop me enjoying these

But whisky... I can smell it now & there's none in the house!

My really horrific experiences were as a student with cider and Newcastle Brown. NOT mixed I might add! I've never touched NB since and only really started recently on cider again when I had to blend in with the locals down on the Devon coast.

After a mouthful of Pukie Brown as a student I would always prefer to drink creosote before having any more!

I have a hideous memory of very cheap "cider" from a shop in Bristol in the late 70s. 5L for £1.20 in a "bring your own" plastic can, the stuff was cloudy, flat and only made drinkable by adding fizzy lemonade. Seemed OK, ish, but the following morning..dear God, I could have given up alcohol, but turned to home brew beer.
I've never, ever, touched cider since.

I think everyone has one drink that they can no longer face due to one or more occasions of over-indulgence in their youth. Mine is Southern Comfort, even the thought of it is too much for me.

But seriously Roger, whisky is an acquired taste, so you need to work at it. Believe me, if you do it will pay you back in spades. Maybe start with an Irish whiskey (such as Black Bush) with a splash of water. Irish whiskey is triple distilled and as smooth as Roger Moore. (Scotch, apart from Auchentoshan is double distilled) You can then start on the more challenging stuff. All this chat about whisky makes me think it's time for a wee dram of Old Pulteney. Cheers
