There's much truth in that observation except for the drunk part. If you want to get drunk, get a bottle of Everclear.

As people age, their ability to discriminate flavors declines. This is probably why little kids gag at spicy foods and strongly flavored vegetables and older folks like Thai food and scotch.

I love Thai food and Scotch, and I'm not old. I'll be curious to see what I'll tolerate in old age, maybe cheap scotch!

That's where I am, but my class-conscious pretentious nature draws me to expensive single malts.

Not really. I have reached the point in life where I can afford what I like and enjoy the self-indulgence. Good thing my taste doesn't extend to AMG's!

Yesiree. Makes for one helluva party ending.

Scottish Whisky
 
Unlike Irish whiskeys, Scottish single-malts are single distilled.
Their color comes from the cask they were aged in.
They range in taste from the sigh of an angel to something best employed to clean furniture.
Cask strength (110 proof or higher) should be diluted before drinking.
The preferred dilution is Scottish Branch water, which I have not seen for quite some time. It is spring water that tastes of peat (not Pete).

In a climate such as Texas, room temperature Scotch is too warm. Keeping it in the freezer is a good plan: it doesn't take but a minute to reach proper drinking temperature.

A Bottle of the Best is a rare treat, hellishly expensive. But there will be one at my wake.

A house guest at my SF home about 20 years ago gifted me with a bottle of Drambuie.

I loved that. Made it last for many years. I really ought to buy another bottle. Must have been a dozen years ago since I tasted any, so I guess it's time.

All this snow outside certainly makes it tempting.

I believe old age starts at 80, and at late 60s middle age I can appreciate a much better quality of Thai girls and Scotch than I could when I was younger. I like them both to be at least 18 years old. Thai food is good too.

That stuff is like candy.

I was given a bottle of Jonny Walker Blue Label - perhaps the most characterless whisky I have ever had.

My favorite right now has to be The Glenrothes '98
