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?

Lagavulin here too. I went to a scotch tasting recently and some were priced above 200 a bottle but the old standby was still my favorite.

Another vote for Lagavulin. Rich flavor, smooth delivery. Gets me every time. I've tried many others, and enjoyed them, but I keep coming back. Now, I just need to get over to the UK and try the 25 and 30 years!

I like many. Great thread. Here's a recommendation for Balvenie. I think I have the spelling right. I prefer one of the older ones that are aged in Port wine casks.
