Woodford and ER10. Nothing too crazy on the proof front that has good flavor and can toss a little ice in it without feeling bad about it if they need it

Evan Williams Single Barrel if I can get it otherwise 4R Small Batch. Something nice but not crazy.

If I think they’ll like a smoky scotch, I’ll give them Laphroaig 10. If I suspect they may prefer bourbon, I’ll give them Eagle Rare 10. These were some of the early whiskeys that got me hooked.

4R SiB, Blanton's is usually liked too but they won't be able to find it so it's pointless to introduce them to it.

Probably a wheated. Weller special reserve or green river wheated. Maybe redwood empire pipe dream. All easy going but real tasty

Hibiki Harmony and Hakushu 12 have turned many friends from folks who didn’t like whisky into avid fans.
For Scotch - good ol Macallan 12, Balvenie 12, or Oban 14.

I’m hosting family from America in my home in Europe this week. Being away for just a couple of years has made me really aware of American tendencies. They’re fat and literally are only always thinking of their next meal. We can eat, and they want to talk about dinner. They always complain about their knees and feet even though they’re also only in their mid thirties. I’ve decided to no longer host friends/family from America because it’s always like this 🤦🏼‍♂️ 🫃🏼

Hey all!
I’m wondering if anyone is interested to consider / explore making a referral. I’m an associate (project manager) at Oliver Wyman in London on our private capital team (leading DDs). Previously worked at a PE fund and for a long time as a development economist in sub Saharan Africa. Degrees from UChicago and LBS. Based in London.

I mainly want to impress that I am not going to embarrass you as a referral.
