Im cheap as fuck so I stick to the Glenfiddich 12. As much as I like drinking scotch, listening to people talk about the how the flavours differ makes me want to blow my brains out.
Straight liquor is where its at though.

Holy shit, googling reviews to see what some scotch is like is terrible. I'm surprised that a horse can even reach those heights.

Been drinking scotch for 3 years now, interest was sparked when I was offered a Laphroaig (10y) during christmas. Went throught the whole smokey peaty fase (mind you, as a student I stuck to the 30 euro bottles (Talisker, Caol Ila, Bowmore etc; made an exception for Lagavulin). I was then given a bottle of the Glenlivet (12y) and really enjoyed that so I shifted to trying different speyside and highland scotch. In all fairness I think the subtleties are mostly lost on me, every whisky tastes different and i'm still very much developing my taste, but with that in mind:
-Lagavulin (16y) was amazing, definitely worth the money.
-Ardbeg (10y) is way too smokey, battled through one glass and wouldn't order again.
-Dalwhinnie (15y) is the smoothest whisky I drank to date.
-Chivas Regal (18y) has notes of chocolade, which is interesting (was given a miniature).
I'm currently on a bottle of Oban (14y) and have a the Glenkinchie (12y) on the shopping list.
I discovered this nice little store where they sell whisky from the barrel and they always have interesting stuff there, bought 100ml of Glenfiddich (21y) for 12 euros just to give it a try. They also sold a T-spooned whisky, forgot which one, but basically a single malt scotch, with a teaspoon of another single malt scotch added to the barrel. Apparently nowadays buying a bottle of whisky at the store and drinking it straight is for amateurs :)
