50 year old single malt from one of the most well-respected Scotch whisky distilleries - Glenfiddich.
Bargain.

Horribly tasteless/trendy packaging.
Looks like a cheap aftershave from Semi-chem.

I don't get whisky.
It's the only booze that tastes so bad that it's flavour is improved by adding mud and grass.

Peaty whiskey can fuck right off
But just like beer there's more flavours than just the one. Try a few, you'll probably find one you like.

Agreed
I always hated the stuff after tanning the contents of the parents liquor cupboard, which consisted of mainly grouse and bells, and vomiting wildly over mostly everything. In my later years I decided to return and at least attempt some decent stuff. Completely different from the petrol that is shitty cheap wank.

Probably even more so than wine
It rewards not buying the cheap shit. You don't have to go crazy and blow £20k on a bottle, but it's worth wandering up the price range a bit. I'm sad as I finished my Hibiki this evening. That was a very pleasant one and didn't taste anything like a drainage ditch.

You're doing whisky wrong.
I was too until I went on a tasting tour in Edinburgh, where I discovered that I far prefer the Highland and Speyside malts to the Islays I'd been drinking up until that point.

I went on a tasting tour at the Dewar's distillery in Aberfeldy.
Just not my cup of tea. Much prefer rums and gins.

I went to Knockando distillery on Speyside and said
"I don't like whisky", but after explaining why not, I was offered a few to try and shown that actually, I'd just had the stuff I don't like.
Its like saying "I don't like fruit" because you're not fond of oranges. Try an apple, or mango.

What was the reason you gave?
Because it tastes like someone wrang out their socks after jogging in piss filled trainers?

They don't add mud (peat), rather use it as a fuel
And it's rancid stench flavours the malting barley. Lovely.

Wonder if I can get a few grand for them

The tasting review
Always amazes me what a lot of waffle those things are.
You know I am sure if you gave me a bottle and asked me to write a review I could piss out a fantastic piece of prose explaining all the unrelated things it tastes like by about the halfway mark.
I once described a porter as tasting like an overripe banana wiped about an ashtray and left in the sun under a wet dog.
