There are many reasons to fall in love with Scotch whisky. It could be the way it smells, or how the dark liquid covers the tongue and reveals its flavors slowly. It may be that Scotch whisky turns someone you just met into your new best friend or a stranger seem more interesting or become more attractive (whisky goggles).
