Glenmorangie makes a few different 12 years in different cask that is reasonably priced. My favorite is the Quenta Rueban Port Cask and runs about $60 a bottle

Balvenie 12 used to be a bargain at $35 until word got out. Even at $50 it is still a good deal.

you said money was no object....

If you are looking to hook your clients up, go with the Balvenie 17yr doublewood instead of the 12 year doublewood. The 15yr is also very good. I have a bottle of the 21 and prefer the ones I mentioned previously.

Yea, I think I've decided on the Balvenie 15 wooden box set (Not the 12).
Hence why it's $100 +.

is scotch just an acquired taste or can you learn to like it?
Posted on 11/20/14 at 4:13 pm to LSUvegasbombed
From my personal experience...you learn to like it.
I didn't like it at all in college, yet Bourbon was my liquor of choice.
It was about two years after college, I gave Chivas a shot at the 2011 Colonial and never looked back.
It is now the drink I order the most, yet I am afraid to try others.

over rocks? Splash of water?

Yea indeed. Over rocks with a splash of water.
In the summer, it's hot enough outside that the ice melts...so the splash isn't needed.

I am not sure I understand the difference between an acquired taste and "learn to like it".
The problem that most people have with scotch is they buy the cheapest stuff available to "see if they like it" and then decide they don't.
More than almost any other spirit, Scotch must!!! be purchased for quality. Cheap scotch is undrinkable. Trying to acquire a taste for cheap scotch is like trying to acquire a taste for gasoline.
If you are going to try and learn about scotches have a budget of $300 or so. There are several good varieties that can be had for $75-$100 and are listed here. If I had to pick one I would go with Glenfiddich but that is my personal preference.
Bourbon is also good but there is limited amount of variety based on the requirements of Bourbon, most notably the requirement for new oak barrels. There is only so much a bourbon manufacturer can do to change the taste of his product.
Scotch has no such limitations so each scotch can have a very different flavor. 2 scotches can be so different from each other that a novice would have difficulty determining them to be the same spirit.
Good Luck and Enjoy
