In this scenario, the most important is price, not the brand. Because you will focus on the people, things which around you. You will ignoring the aroma from the whiskey glass in your hand.
2. Make a glass of cocktail to show craftsmanship
Never choose cheap whiskey to blend cocktail. The bad raw materials course the drinks made will be terrible. And don't just mix one bottle of whiskey to mix the cocktail. Whiskey with too heavy peat flavor will surely steal the elegance of other supporting actors, and too sweet taste whiskey will lose the balance of taste. You can use Scottish or Japanese blended whiskey, American Maker's Mark Whisky, or American rye whiskey. All those whisky only have a budget of 30-40 Euros per bottle.
