For novice whisky drinkers, I suggest a sherried whisky: Glenfarclas 10yr, Aberlour 12yr, and to a lesser degree, Macallan 12yr. Basically, look for the darker whiskies, as the sherry casks give it a darker "amber" hue.

To ME, the sherry casks give the whisky a WELL-ROUNDED flavor profile.
I was at an event today for my company and they served Macallan 12....I really stared at it for a while and thought I should ask this....do they add caramel color in that exact scotch?
