Scotch Recommendations?

You're looking in the 50 dollar range? I actually just bought a bottle of 15, and its great. I would recommend Macallen 10 or 12. Both are in the same price range.

I think they're about the same. I like to buy a bottle about once a month in that price range. Havent really found one I dont like yet. What Scotch flavors do you like?

how did you feel about the glenlivet?

if you're anywhere near BR and don't wanna throw down 50 on that bottle, i recommend the Cove to try some new ones out. they have a 200+ bottle selection.

Thats is very much a matter of taste. In my opinion, Glenlivet is very mild. If that is what you like, fine.

The key to that question is the last few words. Yes, there are many you should try.

If I were you, and you want to try something not so common, Knockando is from that same region and should be available in the same price range. Another worth looking into is Macallan Fine Oak. The 10 or 12 should be close to that price range.

Definitely try some different ones. The biggest differences in scotches will be from the regions they come from. Glenlivet, Macallan and the other "Glen" scotches are from the Speyside region.

There is Speyside, Islay, Highland, Lowland, Island and Campbelltown.

The Islay scotches are very smoky/peaty. A common Islay scotch I've seen around is Laphroaig.

Read up and try some different regional scotches and see what you like.

I do like Trey does and buy about a 50 dollar bottle a month and have one here and there.

Highland Park is a good value. You can get 12 for $40, 15 for $55 and 18 for $85. I think the 15 is a very good scotch, more smooth than the 12.

Good little chart posted here a while back.
