Macallan 12 yr Scotch or Glenfiddich 12/15

Glenfiddich is feasable, but The Balvenie is preferred.

it's a 15 year old.

how much are we talking here? I was hoping to keep it in the 50-60 range.



ETA: I can justify $130 for my Pappy van Winkle bc I know I like it...I have had good and bad scotch though...I am really trying to acquire a taste for it though.

Glenlivet or Glenmorangie are two good smooth single malts to sip.

Glenlivet 18 is in your range and is outstanding

Highland Park 15 or 18 are very good.

In my whiskey soaked opinion, you can't go wrong with Macallan, the distillers of which have earned a well-deserved reputation for commitment to quality, and it shows in their whisky. For instance, the makers of Macallan go to great lengths, and expense, to use Golden Promise, a barley that produces so low a yield that most farmers won't grow it, but results in richer-flavored whisky. They also use only old sherry casks to age their whisky. Again, these are expensive but give Macallan its unmistakable creamy, slightly sweet sherried character. I personally consider the Macallan 12 Year Old the world's best whisky bang for the buck, and I feel that you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't give Macallan a try.

Everybody keeps telling me to get a bottle of Macallan 12...what says the Food board?

No-brainer. Macallan 12 year is the best single malt scotch for the price. I have it at home for an after work drink and I order it at restaurants after dinner.
