Most of my scotch experiences come from smoky hostess/karaoke bars in Japan and Korea ( Chinese KTV tend to have local poisons ).
Iīve tried to introduce more adventurous tastes ( aka Talisker, Llagavulin ) a few times only to have the guys complaining about the turf and smoke nuances. Ok, letīs stick to JW then...Although I thought that Talisker went well with the 150 USD fruit plate. ^
