Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 4147225, member: 38"] I know it is an occasionally dangerous disease so no one @ me for this. The ONLY reason that I am drinking whiskey these days is because of Covid. I could not stand the taste of it prior to 3/12/2020/ I was out of action for like a month after I got it. It was early days and I still had a cough so after that month, I spent another month without leaving my house out of general concern for the rest of the world. Finally, in mid-May 2020, I was completely stir crazy and I decided to go out to a store. Only thing open that was not a grocery store or a gas station was a liquor store. Called a friend, told him I was bored and is there anything new I should try at the liquor store…he said, give Scotch a try and had me buy a Johnny Walker Black. DIdn’t like it the first night, didn’t like it the second night, did not mind it the third night, kinda liked it the fourth night and then we were off to the races. Came back here, someone recommended the Caribbean Cask - loved that. Got some others, loved those. It took just enough off my ability to taste that I could get past hating Scotch. (Of course, then when my ability to taste was fully restored - it took a while - I did not like much of what I had bought. I really dislike the Caribbean Cask now which is a shame. Anyway - good luck and maybe now is the time to get into some high-test rums. [/QUOTE]
