I'm trying to stop drinking beer.
 

And start drinking Scotch. Single malt.

Recommend me something good but reasonably affordable. So far I've tried Glenfiddich 12 and I dig it. Maybe a little too light for me, but not by a lot. Before the alcohipsters jump in and start ragging on Glenfiddich, please know that I haven't developed a palate yet and I have my "Real Scotch V card" still.

I have my eye on mostly Lowland/Highland stuff. Trying not to go full on Isley right now.

Any thoughts on Auchentoshan Three Wood? How would that compare to Glenfiddich 12?

You're going to have to elaborate.

I think single malt is highly overrated. I really care more about how long the scotch has been aged then whether or not it's been blended. My go to is Johnny Walker Black, but I do dig some Macallan 30 once in a while.

I'm not opposed to blended at all!

I haven't tried Black yet, but I was planning on it because it seems to be a household name anyway. Any other rec's for blended? I do intend to also get some very high dollar stuff in both the single malt and blended vein either way, but I kinda wanna work my way there.

Good choice. I'm more of a bourbon and rye guy but I also hope to become a connoisseur of scotch one day. I don't know much about it yet but I recently tried The Dalmore 12 and loved it at least as much as anything else I've tried.

Enticing label design too:

Ooh nice. Will look into this. Based on what I see so far, you probably like that 75% bourbon cask.

Nice price too.

Glenfiddich is great. I bought it as a gift for my parents one Christmas and it was delicious. I like Southern Comfort, even if it's lame it floats my ice boat.

As a straight up bourbon, SC is far too sweet for me. But then again, when someone offers me cake and candy, I routinely turn them down. So that's just a me thing I guess.

BUT I WILL NEVER FORGET THE MORNING AFTER I DRANK 18 MIKE'S HARD LEMONADES............

That might have been a catalyst.

I like sweet but not that rubbishy Schnaps drinks. JC Freebase, did you do them over a night or all in one go?
