I don't drink spirits, so wouldn't know if that was a good drop or not. How good is it?

Pretty nice. Traces of honey so sweetish.
54% so sip gently!

Ah. A strong one then.
Do you mix it with anything? My father once said 'does it say cordial on a bottle of scotch? No. So don't you dare dilute it'.

Nope
Some people like water with it which is fair enough, but I prefer neat.

Dozer claims to be a whisky 'expert'.

So do a lot of people, including my dad
Same as with music, it's all down to personal taste and people talk a lot of bollocks based on their own tastes. My dad has some whisky that's worth nearly £1k a bottle, but that's only cos of rarity, not cos he likes it all that much. Collectors of stuff can be the most boring people on earth.

The Japanese spend stupid amounts on the stuff.

Yup, whisky is the UKs second biggest export after arms, or something like that.
Even ahead of oil or anything else.

Really?

Just looked it up, not quite!
2nd biggest Scottish export after oil, £4.27 billion last tax year, apparently.

I just know what I like and why I like it.
People are far more likely to want to learn about things they like, so I've learned about whisky. I'm far from expert though.
