    singlemalt advice

    Okay, I have a bar/restaurant...I have Johnny Walker Black and Red, Cutty Sark, and MacCallan 12yo. I'd like to add a higher end...really smooth Scotch, something under $150/bottle wholesale. I like the MacCallan better than the others listed, perhaps an older MacCallan or something from the same region? Thanks in advance.

    P.S. This would be more for myself and close friends...not necessarily bar clientele.

    This is such a great one and highly recommend it.

    Agreed, Highland Park rocks!

    And for someone who likes peat smokiness (aka peat-reek) but doesn't want to risk being overpowered by it (as might happen with, say, Laphroaig or Ardbeg), Lagavulin 16-year is superb.

    I'd also recommend checking out Old Pulteney, "The Maritime Malt", from up in Wick (originally a fishing village) on the northern coast of Scotland:

    (It's pronounced "pultney", by the way. It's also what I'm drinking at this moment, thanks to Beverages and More.)

    The Balvenie should be on your short list.

    Their Doublewood and the 12 year old are two very fine selections in the $50 range and their Caribbean Cask (aka Golden Cask) and Port Wood are a bit more expensive but well worth the extra dollars.

    You will not be disappointed and no, I am not a representative for The Balvenie but could be a shareholder based on my wife's purchases of this brand!

    Oban and Lagavulin are crowd pleasers too.

    I am also a huge fan of The Balvenie, though I can't say that I've yet tried the Caribbean Cask.

    Bowmore is one of my favourites along with Laphroaig. The Laphoroaig Cask Strength is very good too IMHO.

    Balvenie Doublewood if you want something that will appeal to most novice palates.

    The bottle looks like this...

    Doesn't look like that around our house. Usually the color change is near the middle or bottom of the bottle.

    Another second for the Balvenie; Doublewood, or perhaps the 15 y.o. single cask
