Q3. What was the first whisky you ever tried and what did you think and have your impressions changed since? #scotlandhour

#ScotlandHour A3: The first whisky I tried was @Laphroaig. Didn't really know what to make of it! Now I love it (possibly a bit too much) and really enjoy geeking out about the nuanced flavours :)

A3. Johnnie Walker Blue Label. At a party in š²š½ I think? It was good but didn't make me fall in ā¤ļø with whisky. My 1st visit to Scotland, tasting single-malt Scotch is what made me a fan. Eventually I found I like the smoky or peaty single-malt best. #ScotlandHour @ScotlandHour

A3 Absolutely one for #TeamIslayandJura this time! The first ever whisky I tried was @jurawhisky and have to say I've never looked back! Love trying new ones too and as mentioned earlier, we've got quite a few here in Argyll! š„ #ScotlandHour

A3. Our Whisky Club reviewer mused on this recently. His 1st was Glenfiddich 12yr old, graduating to heavily peated whiskies & now to more complex and sophisticated drams such as the new Strathearn single malt, which he reviews in our latest issue, out tomorrow. #ScotlandHour

A3 I think my first whisky was Highland Park. It used to be our favourite whisky until we tried Old Pulteney!
It never ceases to amaze me how whisky can absorb the smells and tastes of the air it was created in.

A3 The first whisky I ever tried was @bowmore 12yo. First impressions were that it was firey but much like the long maturation process, it took me time to appreciate it. Enjoying the flavours found across the regions even in a single glass with a few drops of water #scotlandhour

replying to @ScotlandHour @ScotlandHour A3. Lost in the mists of time unfortunately, although highly likely it was a well aged blend...safe to say it probably wasnāt peaty, as would be of choice today š #ScotlandHour

A3: @The_Macallan was the first #whisky I ever had. That was well over 30 years ago. Iāve had many whiskies since then - possibly too many - but a Macallan remains a welcome friend.

A3. Like so many Scots I first tasted whisky at a very young age. Probably as an 8/9 yr old. Hot toddy always made with #Islaymist or @laphroaig, only Islay whiskies in our house! Remember the green bottles and that warming inner glow. Always remembered. #scotlandhour

A3 first whisky tried was probably a standard blend, my first impression was poor. But one of the first Whiskies I liked and still do is Johnnie Walker Black Label - a really great Whisky! #ScotlandHour

#scotlandhour A3 I'm pretty sure my first malt was @The_Macallan and I remember finally "getting" the Whisky thing.

replying to @ScotlandHour @ScotlandHour #scotlandhour A3. Obviously growing up on Islay there is plenty of choice, one of the first ones I tried and still one of my favourites is @Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old @islaywhiskybar
