me either that's why I'm asking, I gather single malt is better than blended but that's about it
- Rayven

To be honest I might have guessed that.

I also believe that older is supposed to be better.

Have you tried a Midnight? A pint of stout mixed with 35ml of porto. Surprisingly good.
- _nay_

You don't say...
Might try it though. An ounce of Cognac in a pint of St.Ambroise stout (called a Highland Ghost) is also a nice beer based drink.

But did you do something afer?

Like playing bowling, or darts, or skee-ball?
- jugkope

You don't play bowling. You bowl.

I've tried. It helped, but still not to the point of buying a bottle
- _nay_

Have you tried some of the better scotch? The entry level stuff is putrid.

Bought a bourbon bottle to a friend for his bitrhday, I'm really not a liquor guy but gotta say it tasted pretty good.

Great story, but I was just quoting a song.

Foutain enters a bar and asks for a scotch,

Bartender : What's the occasion?
Fountain : My first BJ
Bartender : Nice, let's make it a double !
Fountain : Nah, a single should wash off the taste...

I don't actually. I was scared by The Big Lebowski in that domain.

I suggest you ask an SAQ employee for something that isn't too "strong" at first and then you slowly move up the chart (yes they do have a chart for that). Something like a Glenfiddich 12yrs.

Always go for Single malt. Always.

If the taste of scotch is too strong, go with Cognac.

But if I understand correctly, you are supposed to start with the putrid stuff and work your way up?

this is what I was looking for, thanks

Don't you prefer one bourbon, one scotch and one beer?

less peat is a good start, and it doesn't have to be a single malt - chill a bottle of Johnny Walker Black, it's a good way to easy in

I've bought a book on "panachés" (fancy french name for beer based drinks). Pretty good ideas in there.

Glenmorangie original at less than $70 is pretty good. Cardhu at $75 is also good, heavy peat taste. The Macallan 12 year at just over $90 is very good, although the 15 yr old is much better the price is over $100.

found it, thanks

At the Voie Maltée in Saguenay they have a shooter called "Amour noir", it's dark beer mixed with Amarula I think...really good.
