I have yet to get to the worm in one sitting..
Sorry about that . . . Introductory Single Malts?
Glendronach 12 YO is a very nice, easy drinking Scotch. Fruity in the way that Bourbon is "sweet".
Bowmore 12 YO is an Islay Malt, so there will be Peat. But it is a LOT less peaty than the more noted Distilleries.
Tomintoul's 16 YO offering is also a very nice "starter" Scotch.
None of these will break your bank, and all of them have different characteristics to help you see what you like. The Bowmore would be a great way to see if you want to head further onto Islay and try out some of the more peaty offerings there.
If I had to recommend ONE bottle, it would be the Glendronach.
Appreciate that Orville, my next shopping trip will include a couple of your suggestions, starting with the Glendronach
I was into some Turkey 101 yesterday. Forgot how good that chit is for the price you pay.

Had some balvenie 21 year portwood today.
Have any of you tried Proper No. Twelve yet? I’m usually a Jameson man, but this quickly became my favorite a few months back. Very smooth and nice after tones.
Ardbeg Uigeadail today. Finally finished my blog post about it. I think it's about a year since I last posted a review on there, but I'm getting into it again.

Not in the same league as its older sibling but it has a lovely smokey sweetness with a hint of spice.
