    That could be a shock to the system going by what he likes!

    My suggestion would be to stick with one of the softer island malts like Tobermory

    Agree with Aau about a full on peat kick might be a bit too much (although he has to learn some time or other ;) ) but what about this for something away from the mainstream?

    Still an Islay Whisky, but not peated. I have not tried it, but I would like to ;) It gets good reviews, and a bit different from the usual Glen-this an Famous-that.
    Or if you can manage to get hold of it, Lidls own is rather special, but again, probably too peaty.

    I can force myself to drink the unleaded if I have to but this stuff is pretty close to the real stuff. I actually really like it

    They need to make it in a glass bottle for proper comparison purposes though
