What is your favorite Scotch Whisky

[jjmitchem]

I just started drinking scotch and I really like what I have tried so far:
The Glenlevit 12y
Glenfiddich 12y
and a glass of Laphroagh

All neat - didn't know about adding a little water, I'll have to try that

So far I prefer the Glenlevit over the Glenfiddich and I did not like the Laphroagh

Any suggestions as to what to try next are welcome. I need to find a good bar with some so I don't have to buy bottles

Some companies offer sets of 200ml bottles - you might want to see if your local liqourist carries them.

I would recommend trying Glenmorangie, Bunnahabhain, or Arran as your next step as malts that have a similar profile with some differences. Bruichladdich 08 (otherwise called "revival" is also pretty good and has a similar flavour profile. Auchantoshan and Glengoyne are both malts with less peat (smokiness) than your Glenlevit and Glenfiddich. If you want to dip your toe in the water as far as the peat goes, perhaps Highland Park might suit. Otherwise Oban (pricey), Glenkinchie, Bladnoch (HTF relatively), and Craggenmore are all scotches with low peat (smokiness).

Hope some of this helps...
