It will become very apparent that I don't know scotch. I like Cardhu, but it isn't rated very highly. I also liked a Lagavulin (sp?) 15 or 16 year old that I tried. Actually, I have liked even the cheap Dewar's blend type whisky's. The most expensive was probably a Macallan 1968 something or another, but it wasn't as exceptional as the price would indicate.
