Looking for a sipper something that opens up over time. Don't want to be rushed so the scotch will set the mood, drink it slowly and relaxed. Not looking for a peat monster that everyone will smell on me from across the room.


Bottles I've recently had listed in order of preference.

Balvenie Tun 1401 batch 9
Highland park 15(this is the max smoke i would want)
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban
Macallan select oak
Glenmorangie original/Balvenie doublewood tie both rather boring
Famous groose, bought to use as a mixer but did want to try one straight, not great but still better then the laphroaig lol.
laphroaig 10 not a fan plus i smell like a medicine cabinet when i drink it.


Bottles i'm looking at, doesn't have to be from this list.
Balvenie tun 1509
Balvenie 21 portwood
Macallen Rare cask
Highland park Valhalla odin/freya are available and i think i can still find loki.
I was unaware that scotch opened up. It's not wine.

I'd check out Macallan 18 (slightly under your price range) and Macallan 25 (in your price range, but of the two I prefer the 18).
