I'm planning on buying my first bottle of Scotch this week. Any suggestions on what to start with while on a tight budget? I hear that Monkey Shoulder is a good start, though it sounds a bit sweet.

Shieldag 18. Was just in total wine. It’s still $46.99 a bottle.

So, what did you get for your first bottle?

This is very subjective.  The topic is rather large.  If you like lighter whiskeys choose a highland whiskey, if you like it in the middle try a lowland.   If you want everything, lots of smoke and peat, then an island whiskey.

It's hard to go wrong with Johny Walker Black or double black as a first whiskey.  Glenfiddich is a nice highland. Glenmorangie is nice as well.

My first bottle of Scotch was Highland Park 12. I found it to be a good starting point and still keep a bottle on hand.

I prefer more smokiness though so Lagavulin 16 is my go to.

This was my first as well. Upon opening it, I was not a fan. Maybe it was the day, maybe it needed air. I don't know. But by the time I finished the bottle, I loved it.

If my wife goes first I’m giving myself one good bender.

I have thought long and hard about this eventuality.  I also would have a very hard, long and memorable bender. I truly believe that it would be followed  by some very careless gun cleaning................

I have tried 3 versions of Glenmorangie and found all of them lovely.
