What would be a good salty scotch to start out with.
Salt? Oban Distiller's Edition here by far.

What are some good recommendations of scotch for a beginner to try without spending too much money? Where would one start?
My first single malt was the Highland park 12. It's really great all around and not that expensive either. Also don't be afraid to buy some samples. You can always buy some 50ml bottle.
+1 on the Highland park 12.
well, if you do find some time, drop me a note on the book of faces. My body clock is pretty twisted lately, so a scotch lunch at midnight is all within normal for me right now, and I got a couple bars I'd like to show you.

Just got to my hotel... I don't think jet lag will be an issue until I get home. On that note, I did notice the Duty Free shop (on the way out of the states) had some interesting HPs for the Duty Free market sold by vintage rather than age (as well as some reasonably priced 1L jugs of the classics from Talisker and Ardbeg).
I've never been a big scotch guy, but I bought a bottle of Lagavulin 16 after tasting for the first time last night. I knew it was special as soon as the peat hit my nose... I've never fallen in love with a scotch before but this is by far the best scotch i've ever had. I don't even have to drink it; I love just smelling the Lagavulin.
Our local Costco now has Lagavulin 16yr on sale for $49.99 (for the next couple weeks). This is an amazing deal.
+1. I just picked up a bottle last night. It normally costs $80 at BevMo (which is pretty reasonably priced), so at $50, it's a steal. We plan on having it for thanksgiving, pre-dinner, maybe with some blue cheese and apricot jam.

Try Old Pulteney.
Posted this in wrong thread, so re-post here...
you may be disappointed with the Bowmore 12, its not very peaty/smokey. The Laphroaig Quarter Cask is legit and should be what you seem to be into. I just got a bottle of the cask strength Laphraoig. It's absurdly peaty but is great with a spoonfull or 3 or water.
