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?

"The" reference book on scotch is "The Whiskies Of Scotland" by R.J. McDowall. Out of print for years, but can be found online.

The author says there is almost no improvement after 15 to 20 years of aging.

Dr. McDowall has taste tested and characterized most anything you will find in any liquor store.

A must own for Scotch drinkers!
