As far as what to try, it seems really the only way is to try it. If you're worried about buying a whole bottle you can always try some at a local bar. If you do buy a whole bottle and don't like it, you can always use it for mixed drinks. There are some brands I didn't like straight but were great with ginger ale or club soda\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Tasting-Whiskey-Insiders-Pleasures-Spirits/dp/1612123015/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1476510828\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=whiskey+tasting","subreddit_name":"whiskey","author":"dynamictoad"},{"body":"Check out the book Tasting Whiskey.

They are also one of the few distelleries to do every step onsite.   \r\n They malt thier own barely unlike some other distillers who buy the malted barley from elsewhere.  I've tried the springbank 15 and the 12.  Not cheap but definitely worth the price in my opinion.
