I love finding something new that I like. Preferably not well known so I can share a new experience with friends. I’m not much interested in expensive whiskeys or well marketed hard to find whiskeys.

I prefer whiskeys that are a bit mellow, caramel, enjoyable to sip without ice. Not much into strong tobacco or peppery notes.

like

That it is spelled whisky (how Scotch Whisky is spelled).

I’ve grown to prefer softer whiskies although a little peat can be nice. I visit I Scotland a lot (father is Scottish, I live in England) so I do like whiskies from places that I have visited personally. It connects you more to the drink.

uplifting

Whether it goes well with my cigar or if it’s just a mixer.

Where is was made.

I’m a snob, because I think only bourbon should be made in KY because of the limestone water.

It just taste better.

And this is a hill I’m willing to die on.

Agree. If it’s not from Scotland it is just flavoured brown

Brown liquid. Duh

Oof, where do I start? Yes the liquid but the characteristics of the liquid whenever I sip. The flavor notes and how well they pair together. There’s nothing wrong with drinking whiskey just cause it’s liquor lol. I just thought it was funny.

In Scotch I love the campfire, peaty notes. In bourbon I prefer a smooth, yet complex composition of flavors.
