Best single-malt Scotch...

i haven't tried too many single-malts yet, but so far my faves are the macallan 12 and talisker 10. i'll give the 10 year old laphroaig a try in the coming weeks.

The Balvenie 12 year is my long standing choice.

I've been a Glen Levet/Glen Feddich Scotch fan for the past 6 years. I got started by a friend after playing a round of golf. The bar tender pored a tall glass with ice and for up until 6 months ago thats how i enjoyed Single Malt Scotch. After reading up more on the subject i started buying other brands in the past 6 months. Bowmore 10 year old, Balvenie 15 very reasonable at 55us, Dalmore 15 bought on line from Scotland, Glenmorangie 10 and 15 my favorite, Laphroaig 10, very reasonable to at 35us did someone say smoke and peat but i enjoy this dram also, Macallan 12. I've also enjoyed others at the bar Talisker, Oban, Glenfarclas. Being a reformed smoker i find the same release from the finish on sipping. Very enjoyable and relaxing. Single malt has now become my drink of choice for the taste. Its important to have a closed glass for noising. I acquired those from a Glenmorangie Christmas gift set. I also picked up 2 more from a Glenlivet testing package with a 15 year old French oak and a 16 Nadurra. I like to enjoy some with a melted cube of ice and others with a dash of water and then theres a few i like neet only. For me Classic Rock and Scotch are a great combo.

Laphroaig

I just got a bottle of Glennmorange Astar and it is great and $89 a bottle, very complex and solid character.
