This should definitely be the catalyst for a Pit Lecture Series (or whatever we want to call it) on scotch.
After reading through several of the above posts I landed on none of them. I enjoyed the advice and I'm definitely putting it to use to enjoy a little Scotch myself.
I had no price limit, but actually didn't end up spending that much money. I went with Auchentoshan, the recommendation of two people I know here in NC who are Scoth connoisseurs. They both recommended I go that route for it's uniqueness and how much they enjoy drinking it.
Let me add Talisker to the list of outstanding single malts. I like the isle Scotches obviously because they have a taste of the sea in them. The highland ones taste a little too sweet for me.
Liquid Karma just took posession of this:
Bourbon > Scotch. FACT
Macallan's 18.
Use the Laphroig to make one of these - one of the better cocktails you'll have in your life

That is false.
Laphroig is like a burn pile in your mouth.
I own a bottle and I think I've had 2 drinks from it in 3 years.
They did, however, deed me ownership of a 1mx1m piece of property on the island though. So that was nice.
Johnny Walker Blue is a superb blended scotch, and its price tag shows it - @ $125. I am not a huge scotch drinker, but that stuff is goooood.
Good stuff. Very Smooth. Overpriced, imo.
But single malts is where the action is.
I submit that it is TRUE. Bourbon tastes heavenly. Scotch tastes like dirt. QED.
