Lagavulin 16yr is my favorite. I recently grabbed a bottle of the Lagavulin Distillers Edition but have yet to sample the goods.

I know a lot of folks who really love the Oban, but I find it far too bland. I tend to migrate to more pronounced flavours when it comes to my scotch choices.

I've recently tried a Macallan 18yr, but found it to have too much caramel for my tastes.

There are a pile of others I've had over that last year or two, including Glenrothers, Auchentoshan, and Glenfiddich, which have never struck a chord with me. The Johnnie Walker blends are just #### in my opinion. I had high hopes the Gold would be up to par, but it fell flat on its face. It will be a while before I go exploring in Johnnie's world again to try a bootle of Green.

The bottle that really got me hooked into scotch was a Bowmore 18yr. It was fantastic.

When the price tag of a good scotch is a little too high for that visit to the liquor store, I fall back on Woodford Reserve bourbon. I find it a step above Maker's Mark.
