I like the bacony hint in Laphroaig.
Other than that Glenrothes is all right.

Used to be a single malt snob and only drink Laphroaig, but I'm telling you - I've converted to blends. Whyte & Mackay Glasgow Special. Try it. Damned good for $37

Melanie's Whisky Tips
1. Whiskey with an "e" is Irish. The Scots spell it Whisky.
2. NEVER drink whisky with ice unless you want want me to smack you.
3. A touch of room temperature water opens the whisky up beautifully and gives it a whole new taste. Worth a try if you've only ever had it straight.
4. Whisky means "Water of Life" in Gaelic. (uisge beatha)

@Miguex
Whisky (or the Americanized "whiskey") can come from anywhere in the world. It can be made from barley (e.g. all scotch and most American whiskies), wheat, or corn. It uses spring water in the distillation process. The grains are cooked by either peat moss (Scotland, Ireland) or coal in most other cases.
In order for a whisky to be called scotch whisky, it must:
1. be made in Scotland using Scottish barley and spring water, and
2. be cooked over peat moss fire.
