Hey guys. So I'm trying to branch out from cheap beer and I'm not familiar with any scotch brands, so what's your favorite?

Can't go wrong with Macallan. Curious why you're targeting scotch though. If you're branching out from cheap beer why not start with a good bourbon. I personally prefer bourbon to scotch, it's not nearly as snooty, tastes better, and is easier on the wallet. Check out Cedar Ridge distillery, they're just outside of Cedar Rapids, they make a seriously great bourbon, and also just started putting out a single malt (scotch) a few years ago that's pretty good and will only get better. The bourbon is available at any HyVee, the single malt isn't quite as available but by no means is hard to get.

This is going to cost you about $80, but it is SO worth it and it is just as good as any $200 bottle I've ever tried. Best bang for the buck that I have seen.

Glenlivet 18 single malt.

P.S. Don't waste your money on this if you plan on mixing this with anything except for a couple ice cubes or maybe a little water.

It's amazing how huge the difference is in taste between a 12 year and an 18 year old scotch.

Never had the 18 year old. Something about paying that much money for booze, I guess. Maybe if I could find it in a smaller bottle to try out to see if it's really worth it.

Trust me, you won't regret it. Buy it and save it for your birthday or a special occasion. It's frickin liquid heaven.
