I need a scotch recommendation for a client of mine. His birthday is coming up. He is a big fan of Mortlach 18 year but I can't find that here in Austin and am not dropping money on the 25. I am more of a bourbon guy myself so this space isn't really my wheelhouse.

Any recommendations for something similar to the Mortlach?

Any good Speyside aged in a sherry cask should fit the bill. Balvenie 15 is a good one.

Dalmore, which one just depends on your budget. I have high opinions of thier Cigar Malt and 15 yr.

Edit: there's a scotch thread on page one in this forum you might ask this same question to, or search

Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

Balvenie Portwood is a good choice

Add me to the Balvenie train. Lots of options in the $50 (to $$$$$) and up range.

I was not familiar with Mortlach and just looked it up. Is the 18 a $300 bottle? How much was the 25?

Oban is the single best gift Scotch when unsure what to buy and you want something pretty nice.

Have hosted many blind scotch tastings. Oban is almost always everyone's second favorite. Others such as Laphroaig, Dalwhinnie, or Lagavulin are just too polarizing.

Yet to meet a scotch person who doesn't really like Oban (although it might not be their favorite). A Macallen would be my second choice.

Abelour A'bunadh a good option for a sherry scotch around $100.

Count me as also thinking Balvenie delivers good value at every price point

Glenmorangie Signet makes a nice gift as it is always a unique and welcome addition to any collection. $150

Spey River 24 year drinks like a refreshing Weller Full Proof. Should be readily available at any large box.

I like the 15 Yr Dalmore better than the Balvenie options....

I have a bottle and yes, it's great but the Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve is half as much and twice as good!
