Had a pretty good week at work, so decided to treat myself to a nice bottle of scotch. With the selection not being all that great up here, and me not knowing a lot about scotch, I settled on a bottle of Dalwhinnie 15 year for $62.
Got home and poured myself a glass, and I like it. Its pretty smooth and has less of a bite to it then I was expecting. Then I looked at some reviews online and apparently that is the norm. Definitely not a peaty scotch. I guess that is underwhelming to big scotch fans. I've tried a few of the scotch's listed itt (a fair amount of the whiskey's as well), and stuff like Laphroig was a bit too much for me, so this one works out. I guess baby steps when it comes to really diving into the peaty ones. I'd hate to buy something fairly pricey and not like it because I wasn't ready for it.
Basically this seems like a good starter spot for scotch noobs (imo), but damn if I don't just like the taste anyway. I usually stick to whiskey's, but I could get into this I guess
