I like my scotch peaty, smoky, oily, briny and tad sweet. So, I generally gravitate to Islay malts. My favorites under $50 are Ardbeg Wee Beastie ($40.99 at Martin Wine Cellar) and Finlaggan ($19.99 at Trader Joe's). These are my go to scotches for an ordinary weekend.

Ya'll have any recommendations for a good Scotch (found locally) under $50?

It’s a little more than 50$ but Kilchoman Sanaig sounds like one you’d enjoy.


The Kilchoman Machir Bay is another good one for a little less than the Sanaig.

Smokey and sweet, I would go with an Ardbeg. It has a sweeter profile of the peated malts. What does the 10 run in your area? It's a classic. Bowmore 12 is also around $50.

Kilchoman is also a good suggestion by Memphis.

Yes, I really like Kilchoman Machir Bay and anything Ardbeg. Most of these are $60 an up in Baton Rouge.

If you don't mind blended, Walker double black would prolly be under $50.

Walker Green might be right in the $50 range, and it's the only Walker that is made totally with single malt. There's no grain whiskey added.

Appreciate the Johnnie Walker advice. I've always steered clear of them preferring the single malts.

Came here to post Bruchladdich, but it should be noted that the Classic Laddy (turquoise can) is unpeated.

I would suggest a tablespoon of dirt from your backyard mixed with some jim beam.

Otherwise a Balvanie Doublewood for the money.

Seriously though, If you like that taste, a Laphroaig 10yr should be available.
