Which one gives you the best bang for your buck? Good Lord willin', I'll be able to go grab some in a little while.

Dalmore IMO is the best bang for your buck.

Thanks. When I get scotch at a bar, no matter what they have, I usually just order Dewars. I had it at a wedding once and it was good enough for me. So that is what I'm working with.

In the overall and cheap division:
Grant's. Same distillery that brought you GlenFiddich.

Your problem is probably going to be more selection than bang-buck. There are many that would be high on the bang-buck list but aren't carry at your more generic places like grocery stores, gas stations, etc.

no, sir. It does't have to be cheap. I am asking what is the best value at the price it's sold at.

Yeah, usually.

You could break it down by tiers pretty easily though. $20-$40-$60 and on.

Highland Park 12 is pretty solid for around $40.

This is pretty much unrelated, but some smart person I know once told me that the way you order wine at a restaurant is to choose the second to least expensive one, which will usually be the best value.

Scotches are so different that it all depends your preferred taste. I like speysides and highlands, 18 year olds over 12, single malts over blends. The only scotch I couldn't finish was Talisker, it tast like campho-phenique. If I can find an 18 y/o for less than $120 I'm happy

Grant's at around $13, a blend with good honey-amber tones and fruity finish, is IMO the best B/B. Next up is Glenfiddich at appr. $38. There are so many good ones at the $40 mark, it's hard to say one for sure.

I bought a hard to find Speyburn single malt a couple of weekends ago, which at $20 is cheap for a good single.
