Lobo, buy a bottle of Glenlivet or Macallan 12 year old scotch and sip that with an ice cube in it. There's a huge price difference in the 12 and 18 and if you drink good brands, an uneducated pallet won't know the difference at first.
Just tell your wife not mix expensive scotch it with coke. I almost lost it when I saw her pouring her third glass of Macallan 18 into a glass and then dousing it with coke.
I've also discovered that I enjoy sipping a snort of really good 100% agave tequila just as much as scotch. Do try that if you haven't done it yet.
