the only time i ever tasted scotch was over 20 yrs ago. my palate for finer alcohols was definately under-developed at that time. but i do remember i didnt like it then. i wonder if i would like it now?

Give them another try. Of course single malt scotch is better, goes down much smoother than a blend. But that is also why they are more expensive. There are blends out there that are also quite nice and won't break the bank. My preference is Chivas Regal, which is a very nice blend and affordable. Pour it over ice and add nothing else. Take small sips, swish it around your tounge for a second or two. Remember, the tip of the tongue picks up bitter and sour tastes, the sides pick up sweet tastes. If you like it, you won't realise it until after that first drink, so don't take one sip and quit, give it a chance.

Sunshine in a bottle. That is what I use to describe Single Malt Scotch. There are so many different tasting Single Malts that come not only from Scotland, but from Japan, and other countries as well. Those made outside of Scotland are called Single Malt Whiskey, not Scotch, but are quite tasty as well. Take the time to discover what you like. It's beautiful.

Single malt scotch is very different from blended.
Single malt Scotch is a type of Scotch whisky, distilled by a single distillery in a pot still, using malted barley as the only grain ingredient. As with any Scotch whisky, a Single Malt Scotch must be distilled in Scotland and matured in wood in Scotland for at least three years (most single malts are matured for longer).
Blended Scotch whisky is a mixture of single malt whisky and grain whisky, usually from multiple distilleries.

If you can find a relatively good sized liquor store that sells a large variety of the mini bottles (the size you get on an airplane), then you can sample a variety and even have yourself a small tasting setup for a group. At around $4 a bottle, you can get 8-12 for the price of a single bottle that you may or may not like. If it's a good store, you can find a decent variety of single malts, blends, bourbons, etc.
