I have always liked Dalwhinne (please don't expect proper spelling).
In the last two or three years I have actually gone back to the high quality blends. There is a reason that most whiskeys are blended. It lends a smoothness and consistancy that single malts have a very hard time with. I think it is only recently that there have been this many good single malts.
In that vein, I like Johnny Walker Black. Chivas is good too. With greater funds I like JW Gold too. The Blue is only for very special occaisions when it can be properly appreciated.
You should also try some Irish. Bushmills Black is my favorite whiskey right now. It has great depth and smoothness.
Remember to add a few drops of water to bring out the flavor of the whiskey. That is how they do it in Ireland and Scotland. I prefer a little ice as well, but not with the really expensive stuff.
