When I was a lad, I drank myself into violent illness with Johnny Walker Red. The kind of enduring wretchedness where you can smell the stuff coming out of your pores for two days afterward... that was pleasant. I've had similar experiences with other alcohols, but any of them I've gotten over it and am quite happy to partake again. Except scotch. One whiff, and the gag reflex kicks in.

That said... I'm gonna give it another go. Give me your recommendation for a very nice bottle of scotch, the sort of bottle you'd give a friend if you were trying to get them into enjoying the stuff. I'm not loaded, but not destitute either; I'd spend $60-80 if that is reasonable.

Edit: probably something fairly mainstream, as the Oz selection of scotches may differ from that in Canada.
