Not really. Good Scotches are only a few, unfortunately. There are some time-proven favorites. These are manufactured with certain flavour stability that get drinkers hooked up on it. Once people got to know their taste in Scotch, they tend to stay with the names they like, unless they start learning Scotch stuff at tastings and from books; then you get really hooked up.
Balvenie 12 DoubleWood is one of the most popular Scotch whiskeys in the world (and in Scotland also, in fact), because of its sweetness and smoothness. Scotch snobs, like me, say it's for those who can't take the real Scotch (but secretly, I actually like Balvenie too and drink it when my Scotch buddies are not around
).
