If you want to like Scotch, you can start here. This simple concoction is refreshing and as complex (flavor-wise) as you want to make it. It depends the type of whisk(e)y you use. Try something subtle and blended to start, and work your way to something smoky, from Islay region perhaps.

Nerd alert! It's whiskey with an "e" if you are referring to one from the US or Ireland, and whisky when it's from Scotland, Canada, or Japan.
