When you get German Ale in Oz... is it real German Ale, or a watered down version like we get here in the states?
No expert here but you can add JW Platnium to that list as well. Costs a bundle, still tastes like turpentine.Johnny Walker was my "gateway" Scotch. After having found single malts, I can't stand the taste of blends. In my defense... after going to single malts... I've barely tried any blends. The few times I have, reminded my why I don't. I've had JW red, black, and blue... and wouldn't use them for anything more than paint thinner.
AHEM! Actual uisge beatha is anglicised as 'whisky', there is NO e. The presence of an e indicates an inferior distillation and anyone who wants to disagree? Well I'm afraid it will be sporrans at dawn!
My humble apologies! No whisky with an "E" shall henceforth pass my lips... in either direction!
Based on your previous statement... it is my opinion that most blended Scotch still gets an "E".

Brewed and bottled in Europe. Considering Australians have such a reputation as beer drinkers, you may be surprised to know that Australian beer is horrible.
I like the irish stuff. Tully is one of the best budget drinks.
Plus, Bogans would probably beg to differ.
We used to live in Edinburgh. Him indoors would drink Irish whiskey just to annoy people.
I dislike all of them, single malt, blends, Irish, Canadian, American, Japanese ... you name them, I can't drink them (without retching).

Perhaps if several of you stepped out for a good single malt 
The only Australian beer I've tried was Fosters. Based on that... I'm prone to agree with you! I guess it's a good thing you get the real deal imported to you!
Before the craft beer craze... there were a lot of different brands, but pretty much just 2 kinds of U.S. made beer available. One tasted like bread dough with seltzer, and one tasted like dirty pennies with seltzer. From that perspective... I LOVE the craft beers!

Here's the chrome....
Now, if you ever decide to sell that '67 for a grand, for a 300% profit, i'm your buyer.
Ok, then i woke up.
I love Edinburgh, would live there in a heartbeat.
But i hear you on scotch, it's a love or hate thing.
Never touched the stuff, till i was there.
It was the Laphroig that did it.
I blame it on one my cousins, who have Scottish ancestry.
When i was working for Delta, we schemed a trip to go to Scotland because that's my uncles ancestry.
He wanted to go, so we went, on next to nothing buddy passes in first class.
We had a blast to say the least.
And yes, i like haggis.
For me, it was Glenmorangie. Though I wish I could... i cannot recall which specific one. I just remember that it had a light "peachy" nose to it, and that it was incredibly difficult to exercise restraint!
