Really bad Scotch Whiskey

[BabylonHoruv]

Has anyone had the pleasure of Inver House's green plaid?  It claims to be "Very Rare" and considering that it can be found on the bottom shelf of most liquor stores in Pennsylvania and Ohio I suspect this means not extremely uncommon but, in fact, very undercooked.

The taste, well,  I'll start with the smell, a capful of green plaid does not smell like scotch, it smells, instead, rather like cheap tequila.  The taste certainly has tones of peat, but the whiskey itself is barely malty at all, almost as if one had soaked a few sprigs of peat in a vodka.

I haven't had the courage to drink more than a little at a time, nor have I experimented with mixing it as of yet.

I think you should try mainlining it.

It's more due to the fact that I've been working at a wine&liquor specialist store for the past four years, and have gotten a bit....snobbish when it comes to alcoholic beverages.

Green Plaid is really really bad, however it is spelled.

I have set myself the task of consuming the half gallon I purchased, but do not intend to let myself get away with drinking enough of it to be unable to taste it.  That would be cheating.  So I can get drunk on it, but not shitfaced.

I refuse to drink anything that tastes worse than Laphroaig 10 yr.
Good Whiskeys and Whiskys I've had, no particular order:
Tullamore Dew - Irish blend. Not a lot of flavor compared to some, but quite smooth and mellow.
Red Breast - Irish blend. Smooth, creamy, a bit sweet. Rather complex finish. Probably my choice of "cheap" whiskey, ~$40 near me.
Jameson 12 yr - Meh. It's Jameson's standard whiskey, not bad, but not great. Get the Red Breast, it's about the same price and better. Smooth, perhaps a bit thin, malty with a bit of vanilla.
Jameson 18 yr - FAR better than the 12. Smoother, more complex flavor, longer finish.
Knappogue Castle 1995 vintage - Single Malt Irish. Probably the best Irish whiskey I've had. Amazing for the price. Haven't tried the '96 or later.
Black Bush - Irish blend. Reasonable, but not as good as the Red Breast, and in the same price range.
Bushmill's Single Malt 16 yr - Good, smooth, but not as flavorful as the Knappogue.
Scapa 14 yr - Very fruity, slightly thin. Long, peppery finish.
Oban 14 yr - Peat and malt are medium in this one, medium body. Good all around, probably my favorite Scotch, though Scapa is quite nice.
Macallan 12 yr - This one is aged in sherry-oak casks, so takes on a sweet flavor.
Laphroaig 10 yr - VERY peaty, with salt/seaweed flavor and lots of smoke. Not for everyone. The strong flavor is an acquired taste, I rather like it sometimes.
Highland Park 12 yr - Probably closest to the Oban, but not as smooth.
Glenmorangie 15 yr Sauternes Wood - Fruity, similar to scapa. Finish like a dry white wine. Goes well with desserts.
Glenlivet 12 yr - Hints of vanilla, long finish, but nothing to write home about. Good, but not great. Not a bad starter whisky, since it's not overpowering like laphroaig.
Glenfiddich 12 yr - Rather complex for 12, smooth, good mix of peat and oak flavor.
Dalwhinnie 15 yr - Needs a few drops of water to open it up. Not as good as the other 14-16 yrs I've tried.
Balvenie doublewood 12 yr - Similar to Macallan, sweet, smooth. Great introduction to single malt scotch. A few drops of water are needed here. Not as sherry flavored as Macallan.

Don't encourage him.

This leads to a series of horrifying questions to which I am positive I do NOT want the answers.
