Not the person you were in a conversation with, but all Johnny Walker is blended scotch. I would suggest a single malt instead (the entire bottle is from a single distillation).
I’m partial to peat heavy scotches, and my go to are Lagavulin and Laphroaig, both should be under $100 (been a few years since I’ve indulged). If you want a more middle of the road honeyed and heathered flavor, go for MacCallan 12 or Glenmorangie, both should be under $60. If you want something with salty seaside flavor to it, opt for a speyside like Glenfiddich or a west highland like Oban.
It’s not that jw is a bad whisky, but for what people pay for a bottle of blue, you can get two fantastic bottles of an actual single malt.
Basically what I was getting at. Personally I really like Islay scotches, so Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg (if you REALLY like smoke), Kilchoman, Caol Ila (which is where a lot of Johnny Walker’s blend comes from anyway) are all favourites that come reasonably priced.
If you want decent blends I personally go for Dimple or Monkey Shoulder. Or if you have an Aldi nearby, they occasoinally have a great blend called Highland Black which is very reasonably priced for what you get.
tl:dr Johnny Walker is overpriced and not nearly as good as their reputation.
