Even though I don't drink a lot of scotch I am trying to broaden my horizons and the new and unusual always appeal to me. So I was considering trying to find that one. Would be curious to hear what you think of it if you find it!Quote:

Should I stick to the Speyside region? Glenfiddich? The Glenlivet? Trader Joe's Speyside 18yr?
Dohidied - You will get wide variety of answers to your question - but imo if you just want some nice, mellow, malty scotch, I enjoy Glengoyne 10 or Aberfeldy 12. They won't break the bank ($39ish) but are just nice, basic, tasty single malts. (No peat, no smoke, no sherry, etc.) And if you can find Tomatin 12 - it's also very nice and even less expensive ($29ish).
I always enjoy Johnnie Walker Black as well - a 12 yr old blend but a tad less expensive and more available than the other three...
Hard to go too far wrong with any of these.
Thanks for the suggestions, Wall Eye. I'll be on the lookout for those. Looks like my local BevMo has the Tomatin for $27. Nice!
I strongly second the Tomatin 12, though part of my enthusiasm is that it's only $22 here.
