ahhh yes the water of Life, Scotch for a first timer I would suggest starting with blends but you jumped in right off the bat with a 25 YO Macallen , Bam , you hit the mother load right off the bat, no place to go but Down now ! , so lets do this alphabetically
Aberlour 10YO $33.00
Bowmore Dawn 103 proof $44.00
Dalmore 12 YO $33.00 ( Not the cigar malt, I find it to sweet)
Dalwhinnie 15 YO $45.00
Glenlivet 12 YO $ 34.00 18 YO $60.00
Highland Park 12 YO $38.00 18 YO $75.00
Oban 14YO $60.00
AND MY ALL TIME LOWWWW COST Great tasting single malt is Spayburn 10 YO under $25.00 a bottle, my go to dramm, sure I do drink some of the old stuff like the 25 & the 18 YO stuff, but not every day, I like thew taste of the Spayburn ( A Burn is a River is Galic) so it is the River Spay , I hope this helps, you got to ask the KING of Borboun about the other stuff, Oh yea Irish Whisky Red Breast is fine, Knappogue Castle is a fine dram & I am working on a bottle of Connermara Single Malt Irish whisky , Tullamore Dew is fine & I do enjoy a weee dram of Bushmills from time to time Jameson & John Power are are also wonderfull on Saint Patricks Day as well as any thing with a proof higher than beer or wine ! hahahaha
Enjoy, Vince
