If you have an unrefined palate, you can go for Glenfiddich or Glen Morangie (about $60 per bottle) and you most likely won't know the difference between that and a good bottle. Make sure you drink single-malt scotch and not a blended scotch (otherwise, you might as well drink a cheap whiskey like Crown Royal).
