The funny thing about Scotch Whisky is the more you taste the more you want! There a lot of differences between the distilleries.

For an inexpensive somewhat fruity drink Lismore is a good selection that I really like, it has a bit of an apple taste. A little raw, but for the price (about $22 to 25 / bottle) it is very drinkable.

Cardhu and Royal Lochnagar are two of smoothest drinks that you will every find. Very easy on the palate.

Talisker has some real character to it. Close your eyes and take a healthy drink, it almost transports you to an old sail ship, you can taste the salt and tar. The taste lingers in your mouth for awhile. Robert Louis Stevenson said this was the drink of kings.

Highland Park is everything that good Scotch Whisky should be. Smokey -Yes, Peat - just a hint, Smooth - oh yes - some character - yes, but not overpowering. The taste stays with you for bit.

But my favorite is Aberlour 18 year old. Toffee and butterscotch in favor. Slightly smokey, no peat taste, very smooth with no after bite.

I like all the single malt Scotch whiskies, but my real favorite is the next one.
