Just as the title says, what is your favorite Scotch? The one you pick up the most. For me it is something I recently discovered, Aberfeldy 12 year. I just love the taste. And the price is not bad either. Where I am I paid $48.00.
What is your favorite Scotch ?

Lagavulin 16 years old, but you wouldn't like it.

Readily available where I am and always delivers but you wouldn’t like it as it is on the dark (peaty) side. Other than that I’m mostly into Single Cask stuff that is a one of a kind experience.

I think I'm done looking for a better Scotch thanks to you 'Multum in parvo'. I have tried quite a few over the years and I definitely like this one the best, Aberfeldy 12 year.
McClelland’s Blue or Johnnie Walker Red.

I wanted to try Johnnie Walker Green but no one has it in stock around me.
Anything islands, be is Islay or Skye. Lagavulin, Talisker, Laphraoig etc. Honorable mention goes to Highland Park.
In another thread, OP stated not looking for smoke,
so with that in mind ...
definitely no Lagavulin, that's a bottle of smoke with some Scotch in it.
*I* like it, but many don't for that reason.
Whatever is in my glass, be it an Ardbeg, a Cardhu, a Macallan, a Dalmore, a Laphroig, a Bowmore, an Aberlour, a Glen Rothes, a Dalwhinnie, a Highland Park, a Srathisla, a Scapa, a Glenmorangie, a Glenlivet, a Glenfiddich, a Dewer's, a Famous Grouse, a Johnny Walker red, whatever. I have even enjoyed a Cluny on the rocks. Scotch is good. There is enough excellent Scotch out there in close to affordable prices, that I feel no need to chase premium stuff. Ditto for bourbon and rye.
The Scotch I buy most often is Grand Macnish in a 1.75 liter plastic bottle.
Transparent. But for packaging tape, I prefer 3M to Scotch.

I'm looking for what other people like. I'm done looking. Just want to see what others like.
I'm one of those guys that prefers a blended Scotch as my regular Scotch, and then mix in a single malt here and there. My favorite blended at the moment is Dewars 12yr aged in first fill bourbon casks. Outstanding, and Whisky Advocate magazine agrees.
For anyone intrigued by Islay but not ready for the full force of smoke, peat, iodine, etc., that one get from Laphroaig and the like, I recommend the regular Bowmore with some ice in a rocks glass. Fall is the perfect time of year for it.
AnCnoc 12 year old. Pronounced Ah Knock.
A lovely Highland dram. Nearly Speyside in its presentation but with more complexity. Knockdhu distillery to the NW of Aberdeen.
Jim Murray describes it as hidden Scottish gem, or words to that effect.
At AUD$90, its a steal.

Balvenie for me
Glenlivet 12 year old. My Dad drank it and Chivas Regal, I like them both. I enjoy Laphroig as well.
I have a gentleman i know well who is Scotch & Scotch Type Beverage Representative, his beverages are made in Scotland, the others are from Wales, Japan, Israel, and other places. Top Shelf stuff, not are bad or marginal. All could be #1, nice knowing this guy, and have opportunity to taste everything frequently.
My personal favorite, need to replenish--the bottle in my dry bar is almost gone.
