I know... apples and oranges... but I prefer oranges.
I love the green. To me it was better than gold.

back in the day you'd have been called a 'cheap drunk'.
THAT is a ludicrous amount of money to charge for a shot of whiskey.
I'm not saying that it is BAD whiskey, just that I can't see any difference between Blue and Black.
This weekend, I'm have some friends over. I will put out the bottle of Blue and a bottle of Patron Silver and say "Help yourselves". I'll report back on whether or not the bottle of Blue was drained (I'll bet not).

But I'd rather pay $130 for Glenlivet 21 yrs Archive, that I bought a year ago in Midwest.
Recommended favorites:
Macallan 12+
Talisker 10+ (no, it's is not all that peaty)
Bowmore 12+ (surprisingly good for the price)
Highland Park 12+
Girlfriend really likes Macallan and Talisker, so that tells you something about those two. And, no, tbsp water to tbsp scotch is heresy. A couple drops or swirl an ice cube once and take it out.
Balvenie 12 Doublewood (Speyside): Sweet, lightly sherried, honey and vanilla notes. Slight medicinal note on the finish. You can find this bottle for $35 to $50.
GlenDronach 12 (Speyside): Heavier on the sherry, more vanilla, caramel, dried fruit. Brown sugar and more fruit on the tongue. ($35 to $50).
(Other possible Speysides would be Aberlour. They tend to be way more sherry bombed though, so if someone is just trying it out of the first time, they may be offset.)
Dalmore 12 (Highland): Oranges and Butterscotch. More oak than the Speysides above. ($30 to $50)
Auchentoshan Classic (Lowland): Grassy, more mealy. Slight honey, but the more natural notes come out stronger. ($25 to $40)
Lagavulin 16 ($55 to $85) or Laphroig 10 ($40 to $55): A trip to Islay to finish it off. These will kill your palate, especially when you're trying other scotches. I lean heavier to the Lagavulin because I love the smoky, sweet anise taste to it.
----
I skipped the Island scotches (Highland Park, Scapa, Ledaig, Jura, etc.) because they are all varied and all over the place.
My daily dram is the GlenDronach 15 (even though I also have the 12, 18, 21 and the 1995 vintage cask strength also). I tend to lean away from the more main stream brands.
For blends, I highly suggest the Suntory Hibiki. Technically, it's not a scotch, but a blended whiskey, but it's pretty damn solid. Japan is making some great single malts as of late. So, instead of that JWB, just keep on walking.

Balvenie 21 Portwood ($160 to $200): This is one of my favorite drams ever. It's dangerously drinkable.
Port Charlotte 9 ($120 to $160): If someone leaned to liking smokier and peatier drams, this is my go-to. Made by Bruichladdie. the PC9 is disappears with a puff of smoke when it hits your tongue and then rolls into a sweeter cream. There's only 6,000 bottles of this though, worldwide. The PC7 and PC8 would be more wildly available.
There's also independent bottlings from MacPhail and Gordon, Signatory, Duncan Taylor, Douglas Laing, etc that may be available around you. Those are always a treat, but you need to know what you like before diving into them.
