Machholz and single malt

I'm a single malt scotch lover myself, but a more interesting and revealing
question is what is the worst whiskey you've ever drunk?

johnny walker red label for example.

Well, when I was 16 years old, some good ol' boys treated me to a swig of
"Old Mohegan" 100 proof bourbon. Made your whole body flinch to take a
swallow. The label should have been warning enough. It had a picture of
an Mohegan native american in silohuette with the following caption: "When
this eye blinks you've had enough" ... Thank God our taste and
judgement gets better as we get older. It's one of the few benefits ...

Count me in on that. My single malts currently contain Glenfiddich
Havana Reserve, two Edradour finishes, Glenmorangie Port finish,
Glenmorangie Sherry finish, Mortlach 16yr old, an Isle of Jura that
looked interesting, Bowmore Darkest, a standard 10yr old Laproaig and a
35cl bottle of Bells 8yr blend for medicinal purposes :-)

Chuck was asking

drunk?

Can't say for sure, but the worst WINE I've ever drunk was "Night
Train." Tasted like kerosene mixed with light machine oil.

In the mid-50's, I was an underage sailor operating with a false ID
card. I went into a bar (The Zebra Cage) in San Diego and ordered a
screwdriver (at that time I was "into" vodka). A guy sat on the stool
next to me, ordered a drink, paid for it when it came, and got up and
walked out without touching the drink. Eventually, the bar tender
shoved it over to me and said "Here, you drink it." I tried, but it was
SOOOOO bad!! I could hardly force one swig down. The drink? Scotch
and milk!! Uhg..........it tasted like heavily smoked sour milk!

It was at least ten years before I could even think of trying scotch again!

I was looking today at my scotch closet....it's getting a bit low and
I'll have to get some more......I've got partial bottles of Glenlivet
12, Bowmore 12, Tomatin 12, Laphroaig 10, McCelland's, Lagavulin 16 and
Highland Park 12. I'm temporarily out of Glenmorangie and Dalwhinnie.
