In some cases, that is true, but I think you would have to acquire the taste for Scotch in general to appreciate the higher end Scotches nuances. I didn't buy my first $50+ Scotch until I thought I felt I appreciated and understood Scotch and the different parts of Scotland that produce different types (FWIW, I still predominately drink the <$50 stuff).

Likening it to cigars, I wouldn't (and didn't ) buy a Padron 80th Maduro as my first foray into cigars...I knew I wouldn't appreciate it. Years later, I still smoke a lot of affordable cigars, while sometimes treating myself to something higher end. <----Substitute Lagavulin for Padron and Scotch for cigars and I think the sentence still has merit.
