Since going to Norway this summer I have a new found taste for whisky.
Now, I have drunk my fair share & more but never really liked whisky...especially having been very ill on it on my 18th birthday. However, I gave a bottle of Old Pulteney to a friend in Norway for his 60th birthday & shared a few tipples. Now...I still don't like allot of whiskies but love Old Pulteney & can happily drink a few others...
Can anyone recommend so others I should try?

I'm actually a bit partial to Jamiesons. Prefer it to any of the Scotches.
L90OOK:
Oooo Jamiesons the one I got blitzed on my 18th...still can't stomach it 18 years later!

O.K., I'm biased, but stick with Scotch Whisky, there are plenty to try, Old Pulteney is distilled in Wick which is Scotland's most northerly mainland distillery.
I prefer 12 year old single malts to blends. I like the Speyside whiskies, particularly Aberlour and Balvenie, I'm sure you will have heard of Glen Grant, Glenfiddich etc. Over half of Scotland's distilleries are in this region with three main flavours.
The Central Highlands produce quite a lot of blends, their malts (such as Dalwhinnie) are sweeter and more 'heathery'.
I find the Islay malts such as Laphroaig a bit too 'peaty' for my taste, although I recently bought a bottle of Tobermory (from Mull) which was very smooth and drinkable.
The supermarkets frequently have malts 'on offer' (the Tobermory was £15 in Morrisons) keep your eyes open and slowly built up a collection, I usually buy one a month and keep about 10 different bottles on the go.
Drink it slowly and straight, although a little water is acceptable. Great with a few friends after a meal, get the bottles out and have a tasting session.
