If you are getting started with Scotch I think you should start with a high quality blend. I like JW Black. I like it over ice, sometimes with a little water depending on the situation (if I am tailgating or out in the heat). A little water to taste (anything from a few drops to a mixed drink) actually rounds out the flavor. Try some straight and then just put in a teaspoon or so of water and you will see the difference. You need to try different things and see what you like. Also consider Irish. Busmills Black is one of the smoothest and yet complex flavors I have ever found.
