I was just given an article on Blended Whiskies. Here are the "hot bottles":

Dewar's 12 / $30
JW Black Label / $34
Famous Grouse 12 / $35 (this is actually a blended/vatted/pure malt, quite nice.)
JW Gold Label / $70
Jameson 18 Limited Reserve /$74 (Irish)
Islay Mist 17 / $85 (I love Islay malts, so I'd love to try this sometime)
Kilbeggan 15 / $100 (Irish)
Midleton Very Rare / $110 (Irish)
Jameson Rarest Vinatge Reserve / $250 (Irish)
Suntory Hibiki 30 / $1000 (Japanese)

I've only had #s 2, 3 and 4. I may have to get a blended Scotch tasting on the go after Christmas to find out more about what I like.

Hey Brother,

You seem to be well into the better whiskey's. May I suggest that you give Teacher's Highland Cream, Jameson 18yo and Chivas Regal 18yo a try. I believe that you will be amazed at how wonderful they are. IMHO, the Teacher's has to be the best whiskey ever, for the price!
