I like the Balvenie doublewood, McCallan 12, Oban 14 - another one I'd put in this class is the Dalwhinnie 15 - another good tasting, smooth Scotch at a reasonable price. For the occasions when I don't feel like Scotch or Beer - Maker's Mark or Jack Daniel's Select for a change of pace - also like the JW double black.

Lagavulin or Laphroaig cask strength. Neat in a wiskey glass. Will open up a whole new world of cigar and single malt pairing.
