I have never tried scotch before. How does scotch differ from American whiskey? What is the classic taste of Scotch? thanks

I am an amateur when it comes to Scotch, but I have found that the Scotches that I enjoy to be smoother than American Bourbon, Canadian whiskey and Irish whiskey as well as more complex and they tend to have a medicinal kind of taste (but in an enjoyable way), some have a salty taste and some have a sweet, peaty taste.

What would you recommend for something sweet and peaty?

Out of what I've tried I've found the lowlands and the speysides to be generally sweeter, but that is just my experience.

Try Bowmore. 12yr is great. 15yr also good, but a little more expensive.

How much you looking to spend?

There is a 3x200ml bottle sampler out with the 12, 15 and 18.
