I wouldn't recommend a £48 bottle of Lag as a first time drinker... As great a bottle it is, it's too complicated for first timers IMO
A simple Auchentoshan American Oak at c£20 would be a good starting point, or Aberlour 10 year old etc; https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IOBU6HE/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21
Very easy drinkers but flavoursome and with character; https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008SJ4FTW/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21

Glenfarclas 10yr old for those Speyside fans. A cube of ice for me thanks, sorry.
Great call apart from the ice
Aye but the guy will go round the houses and spend a fortune then he'll buy the Lag

Irish whiskey is just muck compared to Scottish single malts, not liking Jameson's doesn't mean you won't like the latter. Just get something in a bar.

Good afternoon all, I'm relatively new to Whisky. Highland Park is rather lovely though
This is surely one of those cases where the journey is at least as important as the destination.Aye but the guy will go round the houses and spend a fortune then he'll buy the Lag
Is it time for a [Swiss Tony] moment?
Oh yes.
HP is a gentle introduction to the Highlands and Islands style. It's more complex than the Speysides, without being quite as strident as your Islay phenol specials.
My son bought a bottle of Orkney malt a while ago, Scapa 16 year old, really nice not easy to get though, think it’s about £40 or thereabouts.
God this has rocketed in price, there’s no way my son paid that price.

This is nonsense. You are not comparing like with like. Blended Irish whiskey Is no better or worse than blended Scotch. And how many Irish single malts have you tried?

Like what you want to like. I'm personally not keen on bourbon whiskey whether that is regular JD or Gentleman Jack, Jim Beam or Makers Mark etc.
Therefore, I'm guessing if these are to your taste you may not like the Scotch variety or the Irish.
I so like Southern Comfort mixed but drink it as a stand in for Ponche Cabellero mixed (7up).

There may be more posts after this.
Yellow Spot is a single pot Irish whisky which compares with any 12 yo malt if you like subtle but complex whiskies. Wonderful stuff imo.

Indeed...I have a very nice Redbreast single pot Irish nestled between my Grendronachs, Talisker, Caol Ila.

Several. Actually they were alright, thinking about it.

Glenlivet 18 year old is the best single malt I have tried but it is pricey.
Best bargain out there is the Co-Op own label Highland Single Malt (allegedly made by Dalmore).
