RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

...because it's a plainly ignorant statement akin to "i don't like french music": do you just dislike ~~music~~ malt whisky?..that's a fair statement, but one which would apply to all malt whiskies regardless of nation of origin, as there's no unifying style distinguishing scotch in particular...
...conversely, if you don't mind other malt whiskies but dislike something specific about scotch, that's indicative of narrow experience coloring your expectation of a vast ecology of styles and expressions which have little in common other than being based on barley, water, distillation, and age...
..."i don't like scotch" is a common statement from folks who've only sampled peated malts; your listerine comment sounds like medicinal peat notes, which are a divisive style...
...nah man, i'm here for casual conversation; nothing at all shameful about honest ignorance, only willful ignorance...
