Finally opened this last night which had been sitting on the shelf for over a year and a half, and have to say it's very nice and very moreish.

Chaps could you recommend me a whisky please for a first timer?
Sweet n smooth and up to say £30-£40? Or available in miniatures so I can try a bit before committing so a big bottle I don't like!
TIA
Master of Malt do samples - worth a look. Stick to the sherries malts, or Speyside offerings. Sweet n smooth and up to say £30-£40? Or available in miniatures so I can try a bit before committing so a big bottle I don't like!
TIA
If you're feeling braver, try a Balvenie 12 Doublewood, an Aberlour 10, or Glenfiddich 14 rich oak.

Sweet and smooth you're looking at speysides mainly I'd say. Any of the Glenfiddichs - I personally prefer the 15. However, also try Jura Superstition, a wonderfully smooth malt. And of course, you can never go wrong with a bit of Monkey Shoulder.
Monkey Shoulder is a good shout as an introduction I agree, Monkey Shoulder is an excellent value blend. First time I tried it I couldn't believe how good it was for the money.

Try Aberlour 10 or 12 as they are both good if you can find them (I think the 10 may have been discontinued) and excellent value for money (as are the whole Aberlour range in my opinion).Sweet n smooth and up to say £30-£40?

Certainly Monkey Shoulder. Very underrated. Jura Superstition also good. In fact, the first bottle of malt whisky I ever drank. Sweet n smooth and up to say £30-£40? Or available in miniatures so I can try a bit before committing so a big bottle I don't like!

One thing I'd certainly suggest though is don't waste time with miniatures. What I found coming from bourbons was that the first taste of malt whisky was a bit of a shock and not that pleasant. However, it took a few drinks to get used to the taste (and strength!) before I really got a taste for it and it's been downhill ever since!
I'd also suggest trying it with water if you find the alcohol overwhelming. Find your level, then go down little by little over a few drinks until you're getting as much flavour as you want.
