Hey guys,

I am a newbie here...

I am a fan of single malt scotch. I am interested in buying a new bottle, but don't know which one to go for. So I need your help!!! Smile

I love the Glenmorangie range in general. I have had the original, lasanta, Quinta ruban, Tusail and the 18 extremely rare.
I have also had in the past: Glenfiddich 12, 15 & 18, Glenroth sherry cask, Macallan Amber and Sienna and most recently a bottle of Glenfarclas 25.

From the above, I have to say I have enjoyed the Glenmorangie 18, Tusail and Lasanta, Macallan Sienna and Glenfarclas 25 the most.

I prefer full bodied, but not smoky.

Any recommendations?

Where are you located? I'm stateside so I'm limited in what I can get and recommend.

I have two favorites, The Macallan 18, and Springbank 18. The Bunnahabhain 18 is also very lovely, just a little peaty. The Glenmorangies you've listed are great.

I happen to like Oban, but I've seen it much-maligned on the forums. For me it was a great introduction to malts from the bourbons I enjoyed.

Hi and welcome.. Your location will vary any recommendations but if you are uk based then you could try these..
Glenmorangie midwinter nights dram .. If you are quick.. Â£28 in morrisons and Â£40 elsewhere ..
Auchentoshan Threewood Â£45 ish
Glenfarclas 15 better than the 25 in my opinion..
Balvenie 15 sherry cask
Glenlivet Nadurra sherry or bourbon..?
Aberlour abunadh..

Have you tried anything from Glendronach? The Glendronach 12, 18 and 21 are very good. Also Glengoyne have a good range that may appeal to you. How about the Glenlivet Nadurra 16 and the new Nadurra First Fill and Oloroso are worth a try also.

Glenmorangie was my first scotch and I drank it and no other scotch for about ten years. Branching out from there, I found that, among the unpeated scotches, I like Sherrybombs. Tobermorie 15 is my favorite that is totally unpeated. Bunnahabhain 18 is actually my favorite, but it is a little smoky. Have fun!
