I'm also fairly new to the scotch world, but I've tried about 12-15 different types over the past 6-8 months so I'm learning which ones I like best. My favorites right now are Bunnahabhain 12, Highland Park 12 and Ardbeg Uigeadail. Those are all under $100, with the Ardbeg the priciest at around $70. I like these because to me they seem to have nice mix of flavors. Bunnahabhain is nutty, Highland Park is a tasty mix of smoke and sweetness and the Uegadail is a bold and delicious mix of flavors, but it could be too strong for some. I've had all these bottles for several months. I don't touch them every day and when I do, it's usually a small amount. Good scotch isn't cheap so I try to make it last as long as possible. Do some research before you buy and you really can't go wrong if you're open to enough different varieties.
