this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. For a start, the traditional whisky glass doesn't have a stem. 'preparing the glass' waste of time and whisky, just swirl the glass before you sniff. Try a Speyside if it's your first whisky - they have the most broadly liked flavours. If you want something with some kick, go for a highland malt or an Islay, my favorite commercial bottle is probably one of the Lagavulins. But then this guy works for Whyte and Mackay. Whyte and Mackay is pig swill.
