Just an eye dropper's worth of peated Scotch is enough to make some smell like they're stinking drunk. Those no way to convince an officer you had just one drink, if that drink was Scotch, lol...

I am indifferent to Scotch, but find the heavy peated Scotch my preference.

Perhaps the next time you give the Scotch a go, try a few side by side building up on intensity. The Ardbeg won't be so strong if sip your way towards it.

Shane to find the scotch that is most suitable to you talk to you local liquor stores to see where a scotch tasting is happening in your area. They will typically have one or two samples from all 4 of the production areas. This will give you a very good insight on where to start. Laphroaig is one of the stronger tasting scotches not a good one for a beginner.

Good bar should be able to create you a line up of scotch to taste. Figure 1/4 dram servings; that's 8 different ones you could try for the price 2-3 drinks.
