haifagirl: Make up your mind, please. You first advise us to stick with a single-malt scotch, but then you say the best scotch you ever had was Royal Salute, which is a blended scotch. As for the Advoscotch-Fresca cocktail, it would taste better without the Advoscotch, but, admittedly, it won’t give a buzz.
As I have said, the differences in taste among whiskeys is inconsequential and undetectible. If you want a buzz, any alcohol will do. If you want something that tastes good, have a pizza.
