Michelle SI'm a developing Scotch Chick, and I love your blog. I've purchased bottles of Woodford Reserve and Highland Park 12 to get my palate going.
I was hoping you could recommend a beginners Scotch with a bit more flavor, though.

Thanks for the kind comments. Always nice to hear from fellow Scotch Chix. Sorry we missed the one from October. We have now posted our email address in our description: scotchchix@gmail.com.
In terms of a more full flavored beginners scotch: if you like smokey, check out Caol Ila 12 or Bunnahabhain 12; if you want something full flavored and fruity, try the Glenlivet 18 (not the 12) (and if you have a Costco that sells hard liquor, you might be able to find it for around 45 dollars). On a more expensive note, Springbank 15 has kind of a chocolaty finish and the Macallan Fine Oak 17 has a hard candy taste. The traditional Macallan line has a distinctive sherry taste that some people really like. Or, you may have a palate for the heavy hitters in the peat world - Talisker, Lagavulin, and Laphroaig. If you can find a good scotch bar, you might want to try stuff by the glass first.
