the Oban is really really nice, very drinkable. a friend of mine buys me a bottle of that every year for my birthday and it rarely lasts the night...

there are four main regions to look for islay, highlands, speyside and lowlands.

two of my favourites at the moment are highland park and bowmore...

some of the better known distilleries from each region:

islay:
ARDBEG, CAOL ILA, BOWMORE, LAGAVULIN, BRUICHLADDICH, LAPHROAIG, BUNNAHABHAIN,

highland:
BEN NEVIS, GLENGYLE, ROYAL LOCHNAGAR, BLAIR ATHOL, GLENMORANGIE, SCAPA,
CLYNELISH, GLEN ORD, SPRINGBANK, DALMORE, GLEN SCOTIA, TALISKER, DALWHINNIE, GLENTURRET, TEANINICH, DEANSTON, HIGHLAND PARK, TOBERMORY, EDRADOUR, ISLE OF JURA, TOMATIN, FETTERCAIRN, KNOCKDHU, TULLIBARDINE,
GLENCADAM, LOCH LOMOND.

speyside:
BALMENACH, GLENFIDDICH, MILTONDUFF, BALVENIE, GLEN GRANT, MORTLACH, BENRIACH, GLEN KEITH, SPEYBURN, BENRINNES, GLENLIVET, SPEYSIDE, BENROMACH, GLENLOSSIE, STRATHISLA, BRAEVAL, GLEN MORAY, STRATHMILL, CAPERDONICH, GLENROTHES, TAMDHU, CARDOW, GLEN SPEY, TAMNAVULIN - GLENLIVET, CRAGGANMORE, GLENTAUCHERS, TOMINTOUL, CRAIGELLACHIE, IMPERIAL, TORMORE, DAILUAINE, INCHGOWER, DUFFTOWN, KININVIE, GLENALLACHIE, KNOCKANDO

lowlands:
AUCHENTOSHAN, GLENKINCHIE, BLADNOCH

there might be some missing from this list...although it does seem like a lot best to try some of the good ones from each region then seek out the less known ones...
