Single Malt help
I'm not that experienced with single malts and want to find one in a mid-price range (what ever that is).
I'm looking for one thats not to peaty and has a mild fruit after taste, does any single malt like that exist??
thanks for your help all.
Clan Lamont!

I second the Glenmorangie (though I'd probably go with the 15yr old oak cask), or the Oban 14yr. Have fun picking, and be sure to report back with which you get and how you like it!

Generally the older the whisky (16 y.o and up)the more mellow it becomes. The younger whiskies are a little more aggressive for many tastes. However an a budget I don't see much wrong with earlier suggestions

Lots of variety. A nice, inexpensive whisky I have found somewhat recently is Tomatin 12 yr.
Bowmore is nice too for the price, they have a few different ranges from relatively friendly to those on a budget to "oh man, I wish I had more money for that one!"

There is a man after mine own heart 
Yes, this thread has all good advice. You will not be steered wrong. The Glenlivet is probably my favorite staple scotch. By that I mean it is something I try to keep around all the time.
