Hello, do you like Scotch whisky, the malt whisky made in Scotland?
I really don't care for the taste but have friends and family that will drink nothing else.
I see, it tastes very nice. I am addicted to it and buy it from commercial distilleries
I have always heard scotch is an acquired taste.
Sort of, but the more you drink, the more you begin to like it especially if its aged for atleast three years.
Can you explain to me why its aged and why that is important?
Because a whisky with an age statement is known as guaranteed-age whisky. And everyone likes those!
So its aged to make it taste better?
Yes,  all Scotch whisky must be aged in oak barrels to make a finer taste.
