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?

The Jura is a smooth, but peaty scotch. I prefer it with some ice.

The Macallan 18 is the best IMHO.

Happy Holidays!

After so many years as an Audiogoner, I finally found this forum. Now I know why I own 15 different types of scotch. It's because I own 15 different audio components. The two go hand-in-hand!

Now for my two cents for favorite single malt. I have been to Scotland, tried many fabulous scotches, but have always come back to Macallan 18 year old as my "must have" bottle.
