After dropping a fair amount on various suggestions I have settled on Jameson 12 year or if I'm feeling saucy I'll do the 18 year. I also like Bushmills Black Bush. The Jameson 12 and BlackBush are $30-$40ish so cheap enough for everyday use
The 18 year is about $90.
Yes I know they are not "Scotch" but I have found Irish Whiskey is more my huckleberry. In fact, thanks for the reminder...I just poured three fingers of 18 year
