My Top 10 Scotch Whiskies for Beginners (2022)

This episode, I review my top Scotch Whisky expressions for beginners; and people who just like Scotch. These are my favorite Single Malts and Blends that I recommend to people who are just getting started with Scotch… or anyone wanting to try more Scotch expressions that I happen to enjoy. Check out the gear I use: https://whiskyriffs.com/gear.

The guitar sounds are from my 2016 Fender American Professional Stratocaster.

I buy a lot of my whisky from Flaviar. If you want to support my channel and also enjoy a Flaviar membership, please use my link to get (and give) a free bottle: http://fbuy.me/v/kevin_14516

I also use Craft Whisky Club to get special edition bottles of whisky. You can help support my channel by using this link: https://www.craftwhiskyclub.com/en/co...
