What's your favourite Malt Whisky?

Currently having a nice Jura Superstition with water.

Preference is usually....

Malts
Talisker
Lagavulin - very hard to find most of the time
Jura


Blends
Islay Mist
Black Bottle

All with a little bit of water!

The nicest malt in my cabinet is Bowmore Darkest, a 15 year old sherry finished Islay.
The nicest malt I have ever had was a 32 year old Port Ellen. It was just astounding.
I don't normally drink blends, but I have a bottle of Suntory Hibiki 17 which is sublime.

Ardbeg is my all-time favourite whisky, followed by Lagavulin, Laphroiag and Talisker. Nothing too delicate, subtle or refined for me!

As for blends, Black Grouse is an excellent everyday dram.

Going well against the grain here but I'm part way through a bottle of Woodford Reserve plus a couple of ice cubes.

Me likey is all I can muster at this hour, it's very good!

For day-to-day I've always liked VAT 69.

For a good malt you can't beat plain, normal, honest-to-goodness Glenmorangie.

At home I have a bottle of Arran Gordon's Cask, now selling for 3 times what I paid. My 50th birthday will involve a few very good friends & what by that time should be a very expensive but extremely pleasant round of drinks.

Good shout for VAT69.

Ardbeg 10yo is probably my favourite, followed either by Uigeadail or Royal Lochnagar Distillers Edition (1998 not 96).

Malts - Mortlach or Aberlour.

Blends - pretty much anything from Compass Box.

I've always liked everything I've tried from The Macallan, but these days my favourite cheap single malt is Highland Park.

Blends: Johnny Walker Black Label, though now I find I prefer Double Black.



This thread reminds me: I have a bottle of Mackmyra Svensk Whisky which I'm looking forward to trying.

Would tend to agree, however, a Laphroaig 10 cask stregth , is to my mind, just as pleasing.

Lagavulin 16 is a standard go to for me. That said I have a 35 y.o. Sherry cask Caol Ila that is the crowning glory in my booze cupboard at the moment.
