I picked up a bottle of Auchentoshan Single Malt Select last week.

I've had a couple drams so far, some rocks and some neat. It has a sweetness that I really enjoy, more fruity than syrupy with a little honey thrown in. Very little saltiness or medicinal taste.

I am really enjoying it and at around $30 a bottle the price is right. This is a great counter balance to my other go-to cheapie, Bowmore Islay Legend.

So I finally went out and picked up some Old Pulteney.

For a $45 bottle of scotch, I was throughly impressed. I got it after the recommendation for a more salty scotch. It has a saltyness to it, but not as much as I would like to see. It had more of a fruit taste. The mouth feel and aftertaste were spot on. If it had a tad more salty or smokey taste, this one could easily beat out Lagavulin or another higher end Scotch. As it is, for $45 you really can't beat it imo.

I bought a bottle of Glenlivet 15 to try out some scotch, its ok, I didn't really like it at first, but now being more than halfway through the bottle I believe I've overcome the taste acquisition for scotch. I'll be reading through this thread for suggestions, and posting up what I think of the scotches I try as I go along.

I just about killed my Glenlivet 15 this week. I'm hooked on scotch now. Went out and bought a bottle of Jura 10. It has a very unique aroma that I can't quite place. Also a unique taste. Quite enjoyable for being as young as it is. I'll have to track down Jura Superstition which I've read about here a bit and see how that is as well.
