Something that's not too peaty that will get my boyfriend to like whiskey? I'm convinced he will but he had a bad experience with Glenfiddich and has made up his mind.

Dump him tbh

Agree with M1 - if he thinks Glenfiddich is too “harsh” he will not be able to protect you from harm if the need arises

If you want to stay within Scotch whiskeys, aim for at least a 12 or 15 yr old, and for a drink from Speyside or Lowland regions -- both regions are frugal with their peat. For a sweeter, fruitier dance on your tastebuds, choose one aged in sherry casks. Be sure to teach him how to breathe when sipping Scotch!
Alternatively, bourbon may be an option?? Woodford or Basil Hastings are excellent and of reasonable price.

If you want him to start off learning to enjoy Scotch. I always recommend starting with Monkey Shoulder. It is a blended scotch so purists will turn up their noses, but it is very smooth and quite tasty with very little peatiness. It's perfect for a first-timer! 😄

I’d go the other direction with Laphroaig cask strength

But for a nice smooth scotch, Oban is a good choice.

If you don’t want peaty, maybe try a Bourbon instead of a Scotch. I always recommend Bulleit (both the Bourbon and the Rye) as a good, cheap option for someone that’s just starting to try out bourbon or whiskey in general.

Take him to a whiskey bar with a good menu, and speak with the bartender, explain what flavors he likes and the can build him a flight. Where in the country are you, someone here may be able to make a recommendation

I don’t like heavy peaty flavor as well and was steered towards Tamdhu and it was enjoyable.

Dear Microsoft Fishes,

How is work pressure in Level 58 support engineer roles.

Please put some light on the culture and work life balance.

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example). I think we all want socioeconomic, gender and racial barriers to opportunities to be addressed, but no significant number of people really believe in equality of outcome right? This is just a straw man argument.
