I used to live a few miles from Glengoyne Distillery (the southernmost highland distillery if I remember correctly) they don't use peat in their process and so it tastes quite 'light' but doesn't have that trad 'whiskey' vibe, so again, not a good first timer's drink as it's not indicative of a 'normal' whiskey. If the peaty flave is too much then give Glengoyne a try though
