What is the Scotch equivelant?

[artificer]

I'm partial to Smokehead at the moment. It doesnt have a fancy celtic name so its not very popular with the pretentious types. But if you like peat and smoke, it's a killer. Aberlour is also a fantastic choice. I would think you might be disappointed trying to find a scotch that resembles Irish whisky. In the same way, after reading a really good book and you attempt to seek out another just like it to keep the same thrill going, you always end up disappointed. Whereas, if you treated them as entirely different things, you might have enjoyed the second book in a different way. Therefore, my advice would be to try to develop a taste for scotch separate from your Irish whisky palate.

My wife got me a bottle of Smokehead for Father's Day - it is indeed very nice.

I agree with the commentator a while back that recommended Auchentoshan, the lighter, unpeated Lowland Malt would be a good place to start on Scotch Whisky.
