My favorites are the islay lowland types - very peaty, smoky and gnarly. You know, Laphroaig, Lagavulin and the like. Tastes like distilled swamp.
Also I agree that the Macallan 12 "double cask" isn't anything to write home about.
Laphroaig triple wood was a letdown. I like the ten year. Tastes like a hospital fire.
I'm having the most ratchet beverage in existence. Hpnotiq, Midori, Malibu and pineapple orange juice.
