I had one a couple of weeks ago and it's thumbs down, not good, turn it upside down, shame on you.

So… Looking for a decent single malt... Preferably around 50€... No peat, no smoke, needs to be complex, bit sweet, lingering,... It's obvious I know nowt about whiskey so... HELP!..

Sounds like you're looking for a bourbon, my friend. I kid, I kid.

Really regretting not picking up the Special Reserva Havana Club at duty free now

I think this may actually be completely accurate!..

[sabergirl]

Honestly, I don't have any recommendations in the scotch arena, because I truly prefer bourbon whiskies.  I'm not sure what's available where you are, but some of my favorites are Van Winkle or Pappy Van Winkle, George T. Stagg, Eagle Rare, Bulleit, Blanton's, Basil Hayden's…the list goes on and on.  Truly, I don't think I've ever met a bourbon I didn't like.

[Seul]

I'd love some Pappy but bourbon-wise there isn't anything like that to be found here… Only bourbon barrel aged beers... My favourite ones 

[sabergirl]

What about Irish whiskies?  I like Powers, but Jameson and Tullamore Dew are also yummy.

[Megatron1505]

Fucking Jamesons is my ruin, I literally can't buy it because I drink it like it's cola.

[sabergirl]

When I was bartending, we used to finish a bottle of Powers almost every night.  So deelishus.

My brother, who is an expert on whisky, says:

_Anyway - I would be looking at something like a Speyside…

Aberlour A'Bunadh is awesome - that would be a good start point, it is certainly sweet and complex... and kinda a blend of napalm and honey

If he doesn't want something at 60% alcohol or so... some people don't... then Springbank, Mortlach or Edradour would all be worth looking for... and a little different from Glenfiddich or something._

I pointed out to him that @Seul is a beer fiend, and wouldn't be scared off by a little alcohol, to which he replied:

The Aberdour it is then. I think my second bottle of it ran out some time ago…. mmmmm

No peat, no smoke? Damn, that eliminates most of my favorites (I'm sipping on some Laphroiag 18 as we speak!)…

How about Highland Park 12? There's a little peat and smoke, but nothing like anything else I'd normally recommend  :-\  It's a little sweet, complex and very tasty.

[Max Power]

Backing the A'Budnah - a perfect whisky and should be +/- 50€. As I love Clynelish, you could also try the Distiller's Edition. Highland Park is always a safe bet, but if he doesn't like peat, that outrules it already.
