I've very rarely had a blend that tastes 'nicer' than a single malt-even the cheaper singles have more depth to them in my opinion and I enjoy discovering what different regions/distillers represent in terms of flavour so I prefer trying out something new.
Designer blends claim to have a better quality of malt in them but aren't allowed to advertise which distilleries they come from so you never really know what you are getting before you buy it too, where if you know you like Speyside, you'll probably enjoy another Speyside single. Thing about blends is that they are generally cheaper as its either for mixing, or, everyday drinking (that's an idea;) so I don't really get the idea of spending much more on a posh blend that comes in nice packaging- if you look at the Monkey Shoulder all the prizes are for graphic design, not the whisky!
