The sipping part is the problem for me when it comes to Scotch/Whiskey(Irish spelling). I have no problem with the flavor or "kick" but I have never been able to sit and sip a drink. If there is a drink in my hand I am going to drink it!
I went to the Opus hotel bar (can't remember the name) with some coworkers from LA and one of the guys ordered the Macallan 50 year old or 55 year old special edition Scotch. It was $80 or more for a single shot.......I downed it in two gulps! I thought the guy was going to have a heart attack! In my defense I was not there when it was ordered and didn't know what it was but I still felt bad.
I had three drinks while I was there, bottle of Stella, the whisky and some crazy absinthe drink and the bill was over $120. Glad I wasn't paying....
