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 picked up a bottle of 30 year old Laphroaig, which has an amazing taste, not too smoky, but incredibly smooth. It goes well with Diana Krall for me.

A few favorites come to mind. Aberlour 25 and Aberlour
A'bunadh. The Aberlour 25 is the smoothest single malt I have tasted to date. The A'bunadh has intense fruity flavors, a long finish and a slight honey and spice finish.

The Dalmore 12 and Balvenie Doublewood 12 (standard finish), both with a few drops of branch. Readily available, resonably priced and too thick for many Scotch lovers. I'm a Maker's Mark guy myself.
