    "Scotch" is a drink you moron.

    As a noun it is, although one should note that it is a shortened form of "Scotch whiskey". "Scotch" is also, and originally, an adjective that is an alternative word for "Scottish", whence the name of the drink originally was derived.

    I'm sure that "Scotch" is itself of Scottish origins. I have heard of it
    being used as a reference to particular dialects of English as used in Scotland.

    Have you typed Scotch Whiskey on purpose just to wind up the no underpants brigade?

    Or had you not realised that the word with an ‘e’ in it is used for Irish Whiskey?

    The Scotch stuff is just Whisky, although anyone who drinks that blended bollocks deserves to get a boot up the trossachs. Although I don’t profess
    to sampling more than a small percentage of malts, I do have a taste for Laphroaig.

    Does anyone really and truly like whisky? It tastes horrible and fiery to me.

    I can’t comment, or Rowing will add the details to his little book of other peoples’ personal failings.

    As I child, I loved port, sherry and sweet wine. I found beer revolting.

    Then sweet stout & cider (50/50 mix). I was around 25 that I eventually

    It was only after someone suggested I dip a stick of sugar into a glass
    of whisky, and suck it, that I got the hang of spirits. I now like
    whisky - but I definitely prefer the sweeter brands, which are Irish and American. The most horrible whisky I ever had was a much-vaunted (and highly-valued) highly-peated single malt (Talisker?).

    Laphroaig is also strongly peaty, as I recall. There are a few blends
    that are reasonably good, such as Teachers and Famous Grouse. I still
    have a sweet tooth, but oddly, my drink of choice is the more extremely
    bitter of unpasteurised bitters. My favourite at the moment is
    Thornbridge Jaipur (it's an IPA, an India Pale Ale), occasionally
    available in Wetherspoons. I also like port, but prefer the less-sweet
    tawny to the ruby.
