so what would you reccomend for a first time "sipping whiskey" thats not very harsh?
or perhapds this questions deserves its own thread?
I would highly recommend four roses small batch. You can get it for $20-25 and it is probably only aged about 8 yrs so it isnt as strong with the taste of the oak. Then you still have $25 left to try another bottle.
If you want to spend all $50 at once... Blanton's
