I’m a Scotch man. I like Aberfeldy 18, Balvenie single cask, and Kilchoman for my top 3.
I also love a Dubonnet Manhattan or a hazy IPA. Red over white wine, IMO

Whisk(e)y drinker here, preferring neat. I like all types, especially if they are sherry-finished.
I like too many for a concise list.
I think Stranahan’s is the best bottle most people sleep on. It’s a Single Malt made in the US, so most Scotch drinkers dismiss it because “it’s not made in Scotland”, but most American drinkers are looking more for Rye and Bourbon flavors. It’s just delicious imo
Ardbeg Wee Beastie is another favorite. Peated Scotches aren’t for everyone, but I think it has a great “campfire” quality
Navazos Palazzi is a Spanish whiskey that we really like, and it’s one i never recommend to beginners. It’s harsh and sweet, but somehow it works. I’ve heard it described as “maple cookie covered in fresh pavement”, although I think it evokes more of that cut up tire that you can find on some playgrounds. It’s basically “fuck you” in a glass, in the best possible way
For cocktails, i always go for Coke and Makers, with some grenadine.
I’ve tried the entry level ardbeg and it’s fantastic. I’ll have to check out the other two. Try Kilchoman if you haven’t. It’s also wonderful
Also Port Wines. It’s what we got into before started falling into the Whiskey rabbit hole
