Crown Royal is swill. Horrible shit. And any booze that you have to mix with cola to make it bearable is not worth drinking.
Any of the Islay whiskeys are a pretty good start except Octomore. Unless you have a VERY discerning, or completely dead, palette you do not want to start with the peatiest whiskey in the world. A really good place to start is the Bowmore Legend, it's the cheaper end of the Islay range, but for the price is a great dram. If that seems like something you like move on to Caol Ila and Ardbeg. If the peat is a bit much try the Bruichladdich, it is the only unpeated Islay distillery. If you prefer the Laddie and want to keep heading in that sort of direction take a look at the Campbelltown region whiskeys. Springbank makes some good ones that are not super expensive.
