Best single-malt Scotch...

I have to give credit to Redwiki for the inspiration to start this thread. Yes, certain malts better compliment certain music or certain moods. Of the fifteen or so different malts in my cabinet right now, my favorites are: Aberlour "Antique", similar to the popular Macallan, but not as syrupy; a bit drier, light hearted and less complicated; great with Mozart and Brubeck. Mortlach "Limited Edition" cask strength. Powerful, smoky, mysterious. Great with Bartok, Berg and late 'Trane. Loch Morar 25 yr old. Incredibly complex and intense, with a hint of honey and flowers. Great with Poulenc, Stravinsky and Bill Evans. Any other single-malt aficionados out there?

I am currently enjoying a few nice and reasonably priced single malts.

Lagavulin 16 is, for my money, an excellent Islay malt.

Longmorn 15 (Speyside) is an incredible bargain at approx. $60.

Macallan Cask Strength continues to impress me. I keep a bottle of Macallan 18 in my office, but open it far to infrequently...
