I haven't found a single malt Scotch I didn't like although the younger Glenfiddich I won't buy again. The Balvenie Founders Reserve(10yr.old) I'll skip for the double wood or the port wood. Right now, I've got Cragganmore, Balvenie Double Wood, Glenmorangie with the port finish, Lagavulin(very peaty, wonderful stuff). In the past, I've had Caol Ila, Dalhwinnie(very smooth), Laphroaig, Bowmore, Oban, Bruichladdich, Talisker, and a very nice one from the Orkney Islands called Highland Park.

I've got a couple of boutique Bourbons in the house, Maker's Mark and Woodmont Reserve.

Irish whisky is perhaps too smooth, hard to get the single malt down here but I've enjoyed both Bushmills and Jamesons.

As with my rum, tequila, and cognac, I drink my Scotch neat, as God intended.

I keep some Jack Daniels around for those that make mixed drinks.

Currently on the lookout for some small label Rye whiskey; there are a few distilleries here in the States that have begun production. Right now, I can only get Jim Beam rye. In the early days of this country, rye was the preferred grain in Pennsylvania.
