One of these days I'll start a business up

This past month my tastes have suddenly changed.
I am capable of consuming both olives and whisky now, two things that made me retch up until quite recently. It happened so abruptly that I could practically point to the day.

I love olives but I hate whisky

Fucked if I know, old boy.
Benromach and Tomintoul. You previously suggested I try an Auchentoshan, which I did at the weekend.

did you like the Auchentoshan?

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Tue 28 Jan 2014, 15:43, Reply)

Yeah, it was alright. Perhaps a bit too strong tasting.
Still got a bit of a gag on the more whiskyish ones.

by whiskyish I assume you mean peaty ones

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Tue 28 Jan 2014, 15:46, Reply)

I assume I do too, no idea, to be honest.
The other two are pretty mild without lacking flavour. The best adjective I can think of is the laughably poor "strong". Not strong as in high alcohol, but strong as in how a Stilton is stronger than a Danish Blue.

I saw that when you posted it on FB
Benromach and Tomintoul taste pretty similar to me, though that suggests they should be pretty different. On the strength of that, I decided that perhaps I'd be beter sticking to Jack Daniels.

I picked up a Blair Athol which should be similar to Auchentoshan based on that
It... kind of is, I guess.

You know, I know enough about wine to consistently pick good ones
but I rarely feel the need to talk about taste profiles or red berries, or floral notes. I just like ones that don't taste like paint thinner. I am applying the same logic to whisky.
