Edradour Straight From The Cask Port Wood Finish 12 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland

Balvenie Doublewood 12 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed March 9, 2015 (edited June 5, 2015)Spent $55 for a bottle. It wasn't bad, but wasn't my favorite in that price range. I would take the Glenlivet 12 over this one (and $15 less) or Aberlour 12y ($50) -
Glenmorangie The Original 10 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed March 9, 2015 (edited November 26, 2018)Bought this one during a Christmas special, for $40 I got the bottle and 2 Glenmorangie scotch glasses. I love those glasses, and thought he scotch was very smooth. -
Glenlivet 12 Year Double Oak
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed March 9, 2015 (edited May 10, 2015)This is a good "go to" to have on hand at all times. It is very affordable, and to me is smoother than the Glenfiddich 12, those were my first 2 scotches. -
This was a good starter scotch for someone wanting to dabble before figuring out their thing. Not bad, but I probably wouldn't buy again just based on all the other options available after figuring out my tastes. As far as starter scotches go for newbies, I would push them to the Glenlivet 12y over this one.

Highland Park 12 Year
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed March 9, 2015 (edited April 24, 2018)I thought the highland park 12 was good, not great. At $50, there are others I would go to first. If I did a taste test between this and the Aberfeldy 12Y, I don't think I could tell one from the other. -
I know this is a highly popular scotch among many, Personally I am just not a big fan of the peat and smoke. To me, the LQC has a medicinal smell with a bit of smoke, and is just a bit too "earthy" for my tastes. For folks that are a fan of the Islay region, you would enjoy this one. I am more of a Speyside and Highland guy.
