At a lower level, it's kinda like someone who wants to get into whiskey and scotch and asks about the best one. Usually they are taken aback when I introduce them to the whiskey flavour chart instead of giving them an immediate suggestion.
I also let them taste different scotches and whiskey from different quadrants that I have on hand. I kinda miss being able to enjoy spirits this way due to the pandemic.

Exactly. I hate anything peated - Springbank notwithstanding (but it's not peated, more funky) - so I won't recommend it to anyone, but will try and find what they like by asking questions, i.e. if you like the caramel of bourbon, then Tamdhu 15 is probably good choice.
I have an Ardbeg 2018 Grooves Committee release which is purely for entertaining people (back when people actually came over) who indicate they like peat.
