The Lagavulin 16yr is a fine Scotch to wet your whistle...Glendronich 15yr is another good one to get your feet wet with. Just beware, Scotch can be another AD to deal with..just ask me how I know ;)

There are so many decent Scotch whiskies out there that it's very difficult to name what might suit your taste. I prefer single malts more than blended. Currently i have both Highland Park Drakkar and Jura 10 yo opened. Both are excellent.
However, i wouldn't overlook Irish whiskies either. Jameson is ok, sort of a mainstream but my absolute favorites of all whiskies are Tyrconnel and ta-da: Redbreast. Such a bird milk it is.
Well since I last responded I have gotten a bottle of Glenlivet 12yo and Glenfiddich 12yo. I like both very much and must say I like it more than beer now which I never thought possible. I like the Glenlivet best of the two but they are pretty similar in my experience. I drink it with ice. Maybe now I will have an excuse to buy one of those sphere ice molds. Good thing I got some great glasses already that I inherited from my gramps.
Here in South Florida, nothing stays chilled for long; but a big +1 on the dilution -- that's the show-stopper, for me.
As for Scotch, whenever I have the money to spend, it's the peaty-goodness of Lagavulin or Laphroaig; but when money's tighter, Teacher's "Highland Cream" is so smooth and sippable.
