    Yeah for anyone interested in trying the more flavor focused hard liquors (I’m a bourbon and scotch lady myself) I recommend starting with just a few drops. The ethanol can overpower everything else until you learn to taste through it, and try to taste for the flavors mentioned. In whiskey you can often taste not sweetness but the reminisce of sweetness and a mild vanilla like flavor, these are from the corn heavy mash and the oak barreling respectively. Scotch should have a flavor reminiscent of a campfire, that’s the peat.
