Well I’d definitely start with something from the Highlands, Speyside, or Campbeltown. The stuff from Islay is often very peated and has the tendency to taste like a bonfire made of cigars. Value for money, I love GlenAllachie.
Scotch, as in Scotch Whiskey. Which is either made from a single malt mash of barley, or a blend of other distilled cereal grains. Wood and charcoal can become quite expensive to ship to the Islays, so these outlying Scotch regions would make...
I'm not a big fan of whiskey although I had more than my share of bourbon back in my 20s. Also had some Canadian blends and did try an Irish once that I did not like. I've never tried scotch, what might be a good one to try for someone who prefers vodka or gin?
I’d look for some Single Malt Highland or Campbeltown Scotches, finished in cognac or dessert wine barrels like Sauternes or Port. Stay away from bottles flaunting the use of peat.

I haven't tried scotch 😅. The closest maybe in a manhattan cocktail ... 😐

what’s scotch and what’s a peat? and what’s the difference between prat and non-peat

Down the sink!
What’s your whiskey of choice?
If I absolutely had to order a whiskey I would go for Jamieson. That might rub some people up the wrong way! I'm a gin guy!
