I highly recommend Teachers Highland Cream, Chivas Regal 12yo or Johnnie Walker Black for a first scotch! These can all be had in the $25/$30 range, actually, the teacher's may even been closer to $20.

Johnnie Walker Black, is my personal go to scotch, followed by Teacher's Highland Cream, of the 3 listed above, my first pick as a first scotch is Teachers Highland Cream, it's amazingly smooth and complex!
Actually, that is sound advice.
JWB is a good starting point for a blend, IMO.
