      My taste of scotch is very narrow.
      Glanfarclas or Glennfiddich, both are great. Glenfarclas is or can be a little pricey, but very good, smooth as silk.

        This is my favorite one so far. Very smooth.
        Exactly the brand I was going to chime in with. Glenlivet is my go to when it comes to somewhat readily available Scotch. The 12 year is good, if you can find 17 year or up, it’s even better but that has gotten pretty pricey over the past 10 or so years.

          can't stand Islay scotches - they all taste like iodine to me ::YUCK::

          Personal favorites in the scotch world of mine are:

          Balvenie 12 year double wood
          Glennmorangie 10 year (a great "cheap" single malt that punches above its price point)
          Any of the Glenlivets - all easy drinkers
          Glenfiddich 14 year Oak Cask
          GlenDronach 12 year single malt
          Any of the Macallans are great as well

          All of these are going to fall into the Highland, Speyside regionals - which I prefer. They won't have the smoke that Islays do, but they will have a malty sweetness and a shorter finish to them which I prefer

          Welcome to the world of Scotch, so many things to try, and so few livers

            Yes, I've tried Laphroaig 10, 18, 'Cask Strength', and Select.
            The 10-year is still my 'go to' over the slightly higher priced other Laphroaig options.
            I do like the smoky peat !

              Glenmorangie is my favorite.

              Dewers when I'm waiting on the paycheck.

                  A good cask finished Highland scotch is my preferred libation when I'm enjoying my favorite cigar. Glenmorangie 14yr, Bunnahabhain 12 Year Whisky, Dalmore 12 and Tomatin 12 are my go to's that don't break the bank. Stay with Highland scotches to get away from woody and smoky flavors. Sherry or Port wine cask finished are best with a good cigar.
                  Dalmore straight up!

                    Something I found while in Virginia is the Glenlivet 14.
                    I like it a lot.

                      I've only had the Laphroaig 10, but I couldn't drink it.
                      I did a "custom blend" with it, "marrying" it with some Johnny Walker red, which I don't really care for.
                      It turned out not that bad.

                        I dont like the really smokey ones. Like the others suggested, macallen is great. I also like the Dalmore quite a bit

                          Islay Scotches are peatier than highland or speyside scotches. This is because the peat that is burned to dry out the malted barley smolders more in the islands than other areas. Just how a campfire at the beach is smokier than a campfire in the mountains. Laphroid is one of the peatier Islay Scotches.

                          Another peaty Isley scotch I like is Arbeg 10 year or Arbeg Wee Beastie

                            That’s all I’ve ever tried

                              Nothing like a good ole bottle of Clan MacGregor.
