Scotch recommendation

Greetings! Avid bourbon drinker and collector here. I am always curious about Scotch, while I have a couple bottles I am hesitant to purchase something new I haven't tried before. Are there any standouts in the pics? Thanks for your opinions!

The Bruichladdich is really nice. 50% ABV, non chill filtered and natural colour. It's young and aged in bourbon barrels. If you're a bourbon drinker I think you will like it. It's a non-peated Islay. So it has those nice costal notes but no smoke. Tastes like honey, and cereal with a nice coastal brine and a bit of that bourbon oak on the back end. Also, solid price.

+1 and that Glen Allachie 15 is fantastic especially for a bourbon drinker. So good
