I never heard of these two.
How are they, and how much are they?

They are both very recognized older brands from the Speyside region. Both start between $40-$50 with their entry level scotch and go upwards from there.

Thanks for the info. I only began drinking scotch about 2-3 years ago. I started with JW and am trying to expand my tastes. The only problem is that I am now in love with scotch, but I am in law enforcement. I have a budget

I hear ya

The Balvenie is actually owned by the same company as Glenfiddich so you'd probably enjoy it. Try The Balvenie 12 year Doublewood. It's a good entry level scotch and you can usually find it for somewhere around $40-$50.

Obviously a big fan of the peat

Same damn list that I came up with. Johnny Walker red or black with a twist of lemon is the kicker.

Oban 18
Lagavulin 16
Macallan 18

These are three of my favorites. I have the Laphroaig 15 and Talisker 10 on the shelf at home right now.

Highland Park 12 is my #1 though... affordable and absolutely delicious. Ardbeg is another one I'm a fan of.

Cardhu is pretty tasty also, and Chivas Regal for a blend isn't bad.

I don't really care for Johnnie Walker Black... and for whatever reason I don't have too much experience with The Macallan.
