What it lacks in complexity it makes up for in smoothness and clarity. VERY drinkable, and actually, a great "starter" for anyone wanting to test the single malt scotch waters. |

In no particular order...
Old Pulteney 21 (just got this one, wonderful)
Laphroaig 18
Laphroaig 15
Laphroaig quarter cask (suprisingly smooth)
Springbank 15
Longrow 14
Aberlour 16
Clynelish 14
Bowmore 1969
Bowmore Darkest
Bowmore Legend
Glenfiddich Distillery Edition
Lagavulin 16 (smoothest ultrapeat I know)
Oban 14
Talisker Distillers Edition
Talsker 18
Highland Park 18
Balvenie Doublewood
Glenmorangie Port Finish
Macallan 12
Macallan 18

Dalmore Distillers Dram 30
Glendronach 1968 25 (this is my personal shining star)
Then I also have one of those Mackinlay's "British Arctic Expedition 1907" special edition reissues, but that's a blended scotch. I only bring it up because it's really really good. |

Ardbeg 10
Balvenie Doublewood
Bowmore Darkest
Bunnahabhain 12
Glenmorangie 12
Lagavulin 16
Spice tree blend
Smokehead
I'm not usually much for blends but Spice Tree is delicious. Very nice blend of highland malts.
Lagavulin 16 is still king for me, though.
Aberlour A'Bunadh is fabulous.

Definitely smoother than the typical Laphroaig malts but still has lots of the Laphroaig character. I'm planning to pick up a bottle if I ever get clear of this stomach bug...

Certainly falls into that "dangerously drinkable" category in my opinion, but still very flavorful. I bought my father a bottle of their select reserve this year for christmas and am looking forward to having a taste!

Absolutely delicious. I never had a chance to try them before, but holy damn.
The Cask Strength was strong; i could only have a glass or two. But, the 18? Currently my favourite. |
