Started drinking Whiskey at 4 — wish I had started sooner

I came to Whiskey late — not until I was in my 4s. Had assumed it wasn't for me based on nothing in particular. A partner's recommendation changed that. Tried it in a proper glass at room temperature and the complexity on the palate was immediately interesting rather than off-putting.

Several years on and it's firmly part of how I drink. I don't know why I waited. The lesson is to try things properly before writing them off.
