A friend of mine let me try some Knob Creek…and I was pleasantly surprised.  So I picked up a bottle of Basil Hayden (at the recommendation of a friend), and I'm quite enjoying it.  I'm a complete newbie to it.  Any recommendations?  
I never ventured down this road primarily due to the "burns" I got from scotch…and I just lumped all whiskey/bourbon/scotches into the same boat…and skipped them.  Shame on me.
Anyhoo.  Carry on.
