I'm no expert but Bowmore's one with the tcp aroma and not too pricey, i think it something to do with coming from Islay and the peaty soil

A lot of people fall into the once bitten twice shy trap. Its worth persevering.

 

Try Highland Park, which comes from orkney, its peaty but has a nice sweet note too from the sherry casks, a little like Jura which is more peaty, Lagavulin is very peaty, although the Lagavulin "quarter cask" is a bit more mellow if you can find it. all the above are reasonably priced....

I don't really go for Scottish whiskey but Irish whiskey is more pleasant, a little smoother and more sweet.....

 

Bushmills distilery reserve.........Mmmmmmmmm

The peat and smoke comes from the drying of the malted grains, so in the Highland and Islands a more peaty tradition, but anywhere wood grows a more woody smoke.

but at £80 a bottle ..?

 

You can get 10 gallons of great cider for that!

Sorry, not a great input. The idea of drinking whisky for pleasure eludes me.
