So if I leave a bottle closed and store it for 20 years there is no aging effect or improvement in taste? Figured not---may as well go ahead and drink it now..  I'll even try the first glass with NO ice. Who knows!!

Talisker is excellent, but I don't think I'd spring it on a newcomer to malt whisky. It's a little aggressive for the uninitiated.

I have no aversion to ice. I use it in tea and soft drinks all the time.
What's traumatic is watching someone with more money than sense pour some Van Winkle Lot B or Highland Park 18 over a bunch of ice and think they really have something.
There are basic bourbons I'll have with spring water on ice, or basic blended scotches I'll have with soda on the rocks but using premium whisk(e)y for such purposes is like buying prime beef and cooking it well done. You are to easy to get going.... ..you can have my share of scotch. I'm told it is an acquired taste....I never want to drink enough to acquire a taste for it. I have tried it....I don't care for it ...ice or not.

I keep a bottle of scotch under the kitchen counter, comes in handy when the sink gets plugged up.

If you like malt whisky and the only Glenfiddich you've had is the light bodied common version then be sure to try the 21 year old if the opportunity presents itself. It's a different ball game, full bodied and rich. Of course don't pollute it with ice. Signing off, my glass is dry. How much does a bottle of that stuff cost...? (From the Famous Grouse Dept)

Fortunately for me I don't know. I secured a sample from a friend in the business.

Nah, I call it like I taste it. If it's good I'll say so be it free, cheap or expensive. Likewise for stuff I've paid dearly for.

Check my original post. I didn't say skip the kid's doctor visit and buy a fifth on my recommendation, I said if the opportunity presents itself (like it did to me) then try it. Troglodytes.
