I was taken to a "Johnnie Walker Tour of Tastes" event when I was 22 and was introduced to the world of Scotch by a weird drunk in a kilt that literally goes around the world introducing people to Scotch. Everyone at the event had multiple glasses of about .5 oz of each of the different regions of Scotland and was told all about what to expect from each region and how Johnnie Walker blends them all together and comes up with a magical blend that is perfectly balanced. At the time I hated most of them, but could handle the more mild regions and actually liked the Gold Label Johnnie Walker blend. The key bit of information I was given by the Scot was that you're not going to like all of them right off the bat, however you will acquire a taste for certain flavors in your whisky if you keep drinking it. As a 22-24 year old I would keep ordering different scotches at bars since I knew my fair share about it due to kiltbro, and I wanted to develop a taste for it. In many ways I was posing at the time, since I didn't truly have a taste for it and didn't always enjoy it. I'd say that by the time I was 25 years old, I definitely enjoyed the range of JW black thru blue blends and Macallan 12/18 frequently. These days over a decade later I prefer heavily peated Islays single malts almost exclusively. Back then I hated them. Now it's all I like.
