Just wondering. For you Scotch lovers, I've been partial to singles for a long time, but was recently given a bottle of Johnnie Walker Green. I think I've fallen in love. The mouth feel and depth are amazing. And the price point for a 15 year old is pretty great. BTW, It's taken me 20 minutes to type this..........
So.....Blended VS Single Malt

Have been a Johnnie Walker Red drinker for 20 yrs. Have tried the other colors. Still prefer the Red.

TOMATIN 12 year old single malt is a beautifully smooth and silky whisky. http://www.tomatin.com/
Another memorable one - but a wee bit more expensive - is the Ardbeg Corryvreckan. https://www.ardbeg.com/shop/ardbeg-corryvreckan.html
Both well worth trying!

I was extolling the virtues of a 12 year old Macallan to a friend of mine after dinner in a restaurant (and he was agreeing with me) when the waitress came over and said these exact words, which are burned into my memory forever:
"Oh, by the way, it turned out that we didn't have any Macallan's so I gave you Bells. I hope that's ok?"
Probably the most humiliating experience of my life. My wife laughed herself sick.

Single malt is the way to go. The experience is greatly enhanced with at least one or two drops of water as it opens out the whisky. Glenfiddich single malt is my favourite, the older the better. I'm up to 18 year old scotch and only one bottle per year.
I don't mind the Johnnie Walker Gold or Blue. I still have about 2 good nips left of my Blue. Haven't tried the King George V but couldn't justify the price.

I can only enjoy single malt if it is aged 18 years +.
I recently acquired a taste for Whistle Pig 12 which is a blended rye whiskey. Unfortunately it is around $100.00 a bottle.
