I like Islay Single Malts, I have a bottle of Laphroaig 10yr old I have been working on.

Laphroaig is great, I really like the 18 in particular. Also try Lagavulin 16, which is not super expensive and has a super smokey taste, almost like eating smoked meats. The Bunnahabhain in my picture is also an Islay, but it's totally different than most Islays in that it's super delicate yet full of flavor (just subtle.)

Johnny Walker Black/Blue and Buchanan's. I need to become more informed about scotch and the myriad of choices available.

The Macallan 18 year is great
For my daily elixir I have a 10 year old Glenmorangie which I have found tastes better than many 12 and 18 year old single malts and is a great price if you are a regular scotch drinker.

I only drink single malt. Right now Im on an Oban kick, great drink.
Oban; Laphroig both very good and faves; also try some of the cask stregth Wyhte and Whyte; the Japanese make a couple of decent ones.. Compass Box or some of the greatest blends ever (and I like single cask single malts).
There is a great Texas scotch from Balcones.. and while not a Scotch so to speak their Brumble is a fucking great whiskey.. almost as good fucking a hot piece of pussy..
I came into this thread to recommend some Bunnahabhain...and I love that it was mentioned in post #1. Hail fellow, well met.

Laphroaig is a li'l too smoky for my palette, but I appreciate the occasional sip--neat, of course.
