Becoming a scotch drinker takes a little work and a bit of tongue maturity.  The young man that saddles up for his first bout with the historic elixir is often taken back by its overt potency.  But upon returning  a second and third time, he slowly  begins to get a sense of what makes scotch so alluring and enjoyable.  In developing a taste for scotch, a man is embarking on a lifelong journey that will take him along the clear waters of the River Spey, the rugged Highlands, the Isle of Jura which George Orwell described as “an extremely unget-at-able place,” and various other parts of Scotland where distillers like to say “it’s as good as life used to be.”
