@bowman81 the majority of Scotch isn't peated, I wonder what you would think of a non-peated one
Conversely, I wonder what you would think of one of my favorite Bourbons, Noah's Mill, which so far is the only Bourbon I've ever had which tasted smoky (but not like peat)

.@BlueGreenGrey I don't pretend to be an expert in any drink. I have tried Scotch on a number of occasions and didn't like it. I have no idea if it was good bad or somewhere in between.
I have more experience with bourbons, but again not with the high end stuff. I think this is a good thing, much rather like a $25-30/fifth bourbon than a $300 bourbon. I don't want to like the expensive stuff. Easier on the pocketbook. If I am making a mixed drink (Old Fashioned) its Evan Williams Black Label. For sipping neat or on ice Old Forester 101, or an upstart Redemption High Rye.

@bowman81 the one with the high rye component sounds interesting, I do also love straight rye whiskeys
