Picked this guy up last weekend as I continue searching for the best $30 and under drams.
Nose: Typical Speyside profile, Apples, Honey, Citrus, Nutty (Hazelnut?)
Taste: Honey, Toffee, Oak, Very sweet, buttery and velvety mouthfeel. Minimal alcohol burn. Quite enjoyable
Finish: Some spice notes, not very long and a bit bland. Subtle smoke.
Very easy to drink and I paid for it the next morning with a mild hangover but nothing beats it at this price point so far. A solid replacement for Glenlivet 12 and Glenmorangie 10. I think Old Pulteney 12 and Acnoc 12 are superior but those will be in the $40+ range. This is a sleeper.

Ive also heard Monkey Shoulder is a good blend, and in the $30s range. Never had it myself, but ratings seems decent
Great King St is my next bottle. I think it was in the $30-$35 range last I saw it.
Less than $30 for a scotish malt seems like a good deal. Hard to find a decent quality less than $40 (closest I came was Great King St, but even that has gone up to $45 or so now).
