There's a fellow inmate after my own heart.

What bottling of Port Ellen was it? I have a 24 yr old cask strength from Dewar Rattray.

HP 18 is a great whisky, but I haven't had the 25. I bet it's awesome.

Good question. I have no idea. I was at a cool cigar bar in Tokyo and the menu only read 23 year old Port Ellen. I never saw the bottle. I'll check next time I am back there. The Highland Park was excellent, good bit smoother than the younger varieties, but it was after the Port Ellen and an 00 Trini Fund, so that may have softened my taste alittle.

I am quite the single malt newb, but learning as quick as my bank account will allow. Here's the current stash (2nd shelf from bottom).

Not a bad start at all.

You've got some big guns there. You have lots of possibilities for comparison. I haven't had Laphroaig and Lagavulin side by side yet. Very peaty those.

I've only had one Glenfarclas. I think it was the 105.

Have you done a comparison tasting of the Glenmorangie finishes yet? I've had the port can't remember the other one.

So I'm going to be home in a couple weeks here, and able to drink scotch and rum and all that good stuff again, and I was wondering what some suggestions to sweeter/less peaty scotches would be to really get myself into the hobby...I think my wallet is not going to be too happy with it though... But I'm open to suggestions, so have at it, I'd like them to be fairly affordable, nothing over probably $75...

Here's where I'd suggest the Macallan 12yr Sherry Oak. should run you in the $50s, tops. You'll want something in the Highland single malts.

Those are good choices and should fit within your budget.

You may also want to check out Glenfarclas (The 105 was quite nice), and Ilse of Jura Superstition (I found this pretty sweet but I can't remember what the regular bottling is like).

As a newb, I don't yet have a fav, but I like the Bowmore 17 over Glenmorangie 10, and Glenlivet 12 & 18 over Glenfidich 12 & 18
