What was your gateway whiskey? Started with Jack & Coke... these days I'm sipping Islay peat monsters straight. Don't know what happened, but I'm okay with it!

I never liked whiskey until I had Laphroaig. Kind of a weird gateway whiskey, but jumped straight in the heavy peat and have been working backwards, starting to now enjoy some of the more subtle unpeated whiskies of the world.
