Are there any exceptions to this principle? That is, are there any Scotches that start with a more pronounced sweet taste after adding water?
If I were to buy a $50 bottle of scotch for my father for Christmas, which do you think would be the best choice? Bowmore Dusk?
IME most people, even those who don't really drink whisky, like Highland Park (even my mother likes it). It's rather strong tasting compared to what most people are used to, but still not too overpowering whereas Laphroaigh is definitely an acquired taste for most people.
