Whisky appreciation

A friend gave me a bottle this. I like it.

Being Irish I have to say that any good whiskey has an E between the K and the Y.
I will allow some great Kentucky bourbons that I have tasted also.
 
Any recommendations? I’m new to whisky
The best recommendation I can give is to find a local merchant/society who/which runs whisky and/or whiskey tastings. My preferred local merchant runs 8-9? tastings a year. The majority are blind tastings but there are also special tastings organized by Whisky Galore. This year we met one of Billy Walker's proteges at a special Glenallachie event and last year we net Rachel Barry. Our Glendronach fan girl was ecstatic!
Each blind tasting contains 6 named whiskys and one mystery, which may or may not be a Scottish Single Malt. All great fun and ... when the experts mess up by double- or triple-guessing, they happily laugh at themselves.

The ticket cost is typically less than the lowest price for one of the tasted expressions. You can work out what you like and avoid cluttering up your drinks cabinet with disappointing bottles.

We typically have 30-60 people on a night, dependent upon whether there are 2 sessions in the tasting room OR everyone is brought together for a single session at the nearby cricket ground. We just had a hundred people at the cricket ground for the annual Best of the Best. This time the haggis was piped in by a lady!
Have a fun education.
