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?

Curriemt11,

interesting recommendation for Longrow. I will try to locate one if possible since I love Islay whisky. Springbank is quite different IMO though.

The Lagavulin 16 is very good, but a little too smokey at times for me. I keep comming back to the Glenlivet 18 yr. Hoppy beer lovers, have you tried Flying Dog's Double IPA yet - similar to the Dogfish Head 90 Minute (only better!)
