I am gifted a lot of nice spirits, but hardly ever drink them. My girlfriend is more into them than I. Recently I added a little Arbeg Supernova to our bottle of JW Black and boy it did it transform the Black to another level. I hardly added any. I was told the Black use to use more of it like 40 years ago... Thought I'd try to recreate that blend...

The only Scotch that's in the $35 range, worthy of mention, is JW Black. It's my go to Scotch. Nothing else I can think of.
That's interesting about adding Arberg to the JW Black. Do you think that the heavy peat is what makes the change to another level?
Do you think adding a small percentage, maybe an 80% Black to a 20% Talisker would work? I don't have any Arberg.
