I really like 10 year Laphroaig, a single malt Scotch. I'm just learning about Scotches. Things to consider, do you want it smooth, smokey, rich, etc. when I first started drinking Laphroaig 10 year, it smelled like medicine and the taste was strong. It's a smokey/peaty scotch. I really like it now, especially the after taste. It's a relatively inexpensive scotch.
For scotches, there are some charts that will give you an idea how they may taste. Here is a link to one of them

Good luck in your search.
