I think that really smooth, uncomplex whiskeys like Maker's Mark and Jameson make good gateway whiskeys...

I keep some on hand for exactly that reason.

A friend came by yesterday with a bottle of Deanston virgin oak. It is in-chill filtered with no age statement. The nose is full of citrus with no real peat. The palate brings some apple and generic honey with just a bit of peat. The finish is short and for what I assume to be a very young whiskey, is pretty smooth. At $24 a bottle at the liquor outlet, I will probably grab a couple as a light change of pace, something to serve people hesitant about scotch, and a pleasant dram to bring to a dinner party.
