Personally, I like to join whiskey groups (e.g., facebook or reddit) and read reviews, stories, etc. so I can identify a few new bottles that I want to try before going to the store.
You could start with a bottle that you like and then branch out into a variation of that profile...
Like wheated bourbons? maybe try one that is a little older or higher proof. Like ryes? Maybe try one that is double oaked or finished in port barrels.
Same. If I just grabbed random shit, I’m probably going to run into a lot of garbage
Ask if they have any store picks and or open bottles for you to sample. Usually the have both, and you get to try something new. Don’t be afraid to ask for guidance, most stores employees have atleast 1 or 2 people who are super knowledgeable about a specific alcohol.
Another tip, watch some youtube videos of people sampling bottles; think about the flavors you like and then use their feedback as a baseline of what to try next
