Ok, so that we afficionados of the peaty malt can let Cassie's thread go back to being about Ice Cream bananas, here is a thread wherein we discuss and appreciate fine Scotch and Whiskey, whether it be Single-malt or Blended.

I'll kick things off by saying that I have in my liquor cupboard:
* Oban 50-year Single Malt
* Oban 1992 Distiller's Edition
* Dalwhinnie 13-year Single Malt
* Cragganmore 15-year Single Malt
* Lagavulin 20-year Single Malt
* Glenfiddich Blue Label (which I never used to see in Canada and which is widely available down here)
* Jameson's Irish Whiskey

I've also got an assortment of local rums and aguardientes, but they are not fine liquors. (OK, maybe the reposado is, but it doesn't count.)

I prefer the Oban, as there's more honey and peat and it's not completely scratchy with heather. It's going to take me years to get through the Dalwhinnie for this exact reason.
