This is the best blended scotch I ever had:

Yes but it sets the bar pretty high for what you can follow it with. All McCallan is very good, the older... the more complex and smoother. There's a lot of great scotch out there, price is not always indicative of quality but is for the most part a pretty good ruler. There are some that really appreciate Islay single malts, I personally hate them but that's why there are so many different styles so everybody gets what they want.
Just found this thread. I had a good friend in college who drank almost nothing but Scotch and though he was stingy with it, let me have enough to come to enjoy it as well.
My current bottle is this Glenlivet 15 year French Oak Reserve and it goes down quite smooth. I normally have it with ice (3 cubes- no more) but occasionally neat. I've stuck with the 'Glens' in the Swingers tradition, but may pick up something mentioned here when I'm on the AFB next month as it tends to have good discounts.

Macallan "Fine Oak" 15 yr.
Balvenie "Double Wood" 12 yr.
Glenlivet "The French Oak Reserve" 15 yr.
The Dalmore 12 yr.
Glenmorangie "The Original" 10 yr.
Glenmorangie "The Lasanta" 12 yr.
Oddly enough, many of the "standard" single malts often score higher in taste ratings than their older, "special" bottlings. Kind of like wine, price is a general indication of quality, but many exceptions exist.
Glenfiddich is solid as well. For every day "economy" pleasures, I also drink Pinch and Johnnie Walker Black and Dewar's blended whiskys.
Scotch is a lot like BBQ and Mexican food (even the frozen dinners and fast food varieties), I've never had a bad scotch; it's just that some are better than others.
