Probably the best scotch on the market for ~$20 US for 750ml.

I will take your advice on this, good sir, and see if I can find this next time I go liquor shopping.

Please note, its best with a splash of water. It has a slight astringent quality when straight, but it mellows nicely with a little water with strong barley up front and caramel finish. I like it 2 parts whiskey to 1 part water. No rocks.

In any case, its miles better than Dewars White or Johnny Walker Red (whiskey flavored vodka).

BTW, ever try McClelland's? They have Islay and Highland single malt for ~$20 US. I've had the Islay, and I grew to like it. Seaweed, followed by smoky tobacco (the peat) and finishes with a little salt. Not an everyday scotch, but a nice change of pace at a good price.

Johnny Walker Black: MUCH better than the rubbing alcohol that is JW Red, but not nearly good enough to justify the $15US more you'll pay over Famous Grouse. I still maintain FG is the best scotch for the $ (except for maybe Bell's, but I can't get that in the states. Don't hold me to that. I remember Bell's fondly, but I was quite drunk at the time, singing folk songs in an Irish pub)

Well, JW Blue is the best scotch for the money, and its crazy expensive... but how do you put a price on drinking unicorn tears?
