What is the best tasting whiskey that you bring to hunting camp?

I should butt out because I don't have a taste for the American whisky or Bourbon.
When I was invited to Fordy's camp in Tasmania I took Bundaberg Rum.
Rum is my favourite spirit and I was given the opportunity to to time my trip with ButterBean so I wanted to be sure to take some along for him to try.
Along with some popular Aussie snacks.
You guys actually have some pretty great whiskey down there. One of my favorite bottles right now is a sherry cask from Morris in Victoria. There's heaps(to use the local vernacular) of distilleries in Tassie. I've been picking up Hellyer's Road pinot finish for a decade now. Last time I was down there, I picked up a bottle from Launceston distillery that was absolutely fantastic.
I find most of the Aussie(and NZ) whiskey to be more in line with a highland scotch than bourbon. And that makes sense, I don't think any of them are using corn. Mostly single malts.

I tried some Tasmanian Whisky on the Ferry trip home. They showcase Tassie products and the Whisky prices were reasonable. Yes, single malts and the likes. I'm no connoisseur but it was nice to try a few while the holiday budget was still open.
 
If I bring some to camp it is usually this...

So I am struggling with bringing good whiskey to hunting camp. You guys must hunt with discriminating palate drinkers. The camp I was brought up in the Adirondacks thinks 4 fingers of dirty kerosene is nirvana. I brought Crown Royal a few times and I was viewed as a booze snob. On Crown Royal.....

But if I show up to @adk hunter camp this fall I guess I better step it up...🤔🫣
