Monkey shoulder
4 roses single barrel Angels envy rye And for grins, I would throw in a fancy double Anejo tequila, just to do something different but spicy... |

I’ll be choosing from what I currently have on hand. Around 50 bottles, and don’t have any of those. If I went scotch it would be a solid single malt not a blend |

Not everyone cares for the same things.
On that note I think the idea of a smorgasbord would be a hit. Pick a mid- proof example of each, and ask have folks score each on a pad. I'd set the Japanese at the opposite end from the scotch due to similarities, might want to start with the Japanese, as they tend to be a bit light on flavor. Japanese, American, bourbon, rye, scotch. I like the idea of a flyer for dessert, maybe a Mezcal?

Makers 101 and WT101 so they can get a feel for rye vs wheat bourbon, Aberlour Abunnach for scotch, Nikka Coffey for the Japanese, and then either a straight rye or an American single malt. For desert I was going to do Flor De Cana 18 yr |

If they are real novices, I would keep plenty of bottled water handy to get a heads up on the hangover. |

I would do all Bourbons, and all around the same proof, just different distillers.

Makers Mark cask strength
Old forester 1910 Buffalo trace/Weller SR Redemption wheated Old grad dad bottled in bond Evan Williams bottled in bond Jack Daniels single barrel barrel proof Wild Turkey rare breed/101 Elijah Craig small batch 4 roses small batch Russels reserve small batch (store pick if you can find one) Pick any combination of these and blind test them all. See where they rank. All but one should be fairly easy to obtain. Don’t like mixing rye/scotch/bourbon/Irish whiskey personally as the profiles are fairly distinct so when doing flights prefer common “themes” |

I prefer liquor on the sweet side. I’m not fond of whiskey grabbing my throat like Darth Vader. That said, from my cabinet I’d go basic for new folks:
The Balvine Caribbean Cask Jameson Black Barrel Elijah Craig Small Batch Bulleit or Michter’s Straight Rye And for fun, finish with Three Olives Triple Espresso |
