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.
