There is not a best. The whole point is that there are many types to fit many tastes.
Despite the single malt craze, I have gone back to the high quality blends. Whisky has been blended for years for a good reason. As many as 50 different whiskys can be blended in order to produce a consistant and smooth end product. But a good blend costs as much as the good single malts. I have become partial to Johnny Walker Black for scotch and Old Bushmills, Black for Irish.
But if your client is into single malts, you need to stick with those. The MacCallan is consistantly good, and can be found everywhere. I think Dalwhinne is a good smooth choice for those who usually choose blends. It is pretty widely available as well. At a bar with a good list, there will be many more available. It has been sometime since I studied this much. If I recall correctly, those from the Lowlands tend to be smoother and those from the Highlands tend to have more peat.
Bottom line, try several and stick with what you like, not what is popular.
