Dont be affraid to go with bottles that people havent heard of. (there is more to the scotch world than Livet, Fidduch, Balvenie and Macallan)

Look for smaller brands like: glengoyne, glen scotia, Benriach, Glen Moray, Tormore and tullibardine that give you great bang for your buck. Dont be afraid of Gordon & Macphail or Signatory either.

You can get macallan 18 for $250ish or both Tullibardine 20 and Glenfarclas 17 for the same price. 

Scotch is a never ending education - dont get into a rut of having the same 3-4 popular brands just because thats whats served everywhere...

Exactly this. Glengoyne 12 is an amazing malt.

Also have a look on the Scotch Malt Whisky Society website, amazing independent bottlings. Going there tomorrow night in fact.

There's usually a good reason why some brands become more ore popular than others...

Yes because people are afraid to try it... at one point macallan 18 was $150/bottle and people were afraid to try it... now it got popular and its $250.

Why is glenfarclas 17 $80 at some places and $150 at others? People are starting to find out about it and price goes up..

IMHO one should try various kinds as many as possible and find ones they like/love and scoop more of those bottles and continue to try more and more (within health capabilities).

For those that are in the market for Glennfiddich 14 at an unbeatable price: https://thirdbasemarketandspirits.com/collections/scotch-whiskys/products/glenfiddich_14_year

I've ordered from them a few times and find them to be awesome to deal with. Also you get 5% off orders with code knuckleball5

For those in market for premium bottles, he also has Macallan 18 and Rare Cask at $209 each prior to the discount which is a steal!

If sherry casks make a difference to you IIRC the 14 is without and the 15 is with
