First, thank you everyone for the great ideas. I really like this suggestion because it lends some structure to the plan and gives me parameters to work within. So, with this structure in mind, I'd like to set up a kind of intro to whiskey bar. I want these three types of whiskey. If possible, I'd like a distinct flavor difference between brands in each type, and certainly between each type.

I want opinions on choosing 3 Scotches instead of one scotch. I find that scotch is the hardest to appreciate for a new whiskey drinker. Is that because I haven't had good scotch? I don't want to put stuff out that people can't handle.

Do these new suggestions change anyone's lists? Could we start putting what type of whiskey each suggestion is as well, since I don't know?
