What I would do is check out something like this Whisky Buying Guide, Whisky Reviews, Bourbon Reviews - Whisky Advocate search some of the reviews and see if the flavour profiles are something you appreciate in a Whisky. I generally ignore the rating they give though. Then you can cross reference the names with what your local beverage store carries.

Or you can find a local bar that does whisky tastings and it will be far more fun to "research" your next new bottle.
