| | Suggestions on Single Malt
I think I am finally developing a taste for Single Malt Scotch, but I am clueless when it comes to brands and years. I am such a novice with it that I do not even know what I like or don't like in a scotch. Can you give me an education and let me know what types you like and how you drink it. I have been drinking it neat when I have had it, but are there other ways to enjoy a quality single malt?

GB, buy some nips and do a taste test.

The places around me do not have single malt nips unfortunately.

Nips are those little bottles of booze that airlines give you when you order a drink. Around here, most alcoholic beverage stores sell them.

My current favorite is Highland Park. The 12-year-old is reasonably priced. The 15-year-old is expensive but worth the price.
