Best single-malt Scotch...

I have to give credit to Redwiki for the inspiration to start this thread. Yes, certain malts better compliment certain music or certain moods. Of the fifteen or so different malts in my cabinet right now, my favorites are: Aberlour "Antique", similar to the popular Macallan, but not as syrupy; a bit drier, light hearted and less complicated; great with Mozart and Brubeck. Mortlach "Limited Edition" cask strength. Powerful, smoky, mysterious. Great with Bartok, Berg and late 'Trane. Loch Morar 25 yr old. Incredibly complex and intense, with a hint of honey and flowers. Great with Poulenc, Stravinsky and Bill Evans. Any other single-malt aficionados out there?

If ya' all ever find a bottle of 26 year old Inchmurrin, snap it up! It will make yur system sound like whatever you are looking for!!!!!!!!!!! Course, I can't afford to drink this stuff all the time, so I agree with the Lagavulin at 16 years. Love those smelly feet. Cheers!

Funny, but I can't remember any single malt ever tasting any different after the fourth or fifth one anyhow. I submit that the scientific proof shows there is absolutely no difference between various scotches.....they are all just alcohol after we are pickled enough. If you can taste or feel the difference, you just ain't had enough yet.

I like it straight out of the radiator, although in a pinch, canned heat gets the job done.
