I'm rather partial to The Balvenie (a highland single malt whisky) and drink it neat (ie totally on its own, no water or ice). Failing that, Highland Park (an island single malt) and a great one to start off learning all about single malts with ! If you find the blended whiskies harsh or rough on your throat, then ask for a bottle of Highland Park for Christmas !

Two thoughts on whisky drinking.
1. At this time of year when flu and colds strike, I remember the wise words of my Scottish (Orcadian actually) father.
"If you're ill and whisky doesn't cure you, then you're not worth curing"
Maybe my love for Highland Park is in the genes.
2. A pharmacist once wouldn't sell me a bottle of Night Nurse for my flu because I have high blood pressure. When asked what I could therefore take to relieve the symptoms she replied "Whisky". Just the excuse I needed.
