Recommendations

To preface this, I’m not the biggest alcohol enthusiast on the planet. But, I enjoy drinking with friends and want to expand my horizons. Side note I hate wine.

I’m looking for some quality scotch, bourbon, and even some whiskeys, mainly rye. I’ve heard that our neighbors to the north make good rye whiskey. Any brand recommendations? Also any other non whiskey derivative recommendations? Like good vodkas or mixed drinks?
