As far as Glenlivet goes I went out and bought a bottle of that and it was just plain nasty. Got to mix that stuff imho. I'm not much of a scotch drinker though. I have had Johnny gold though and that stuff is damn good, smooth as hell, you don't really even need water with it.

Laphroaig is a nice peaty, smoky scotch and, in fact due to a college "mishap" with scotch, one of the only ones I can drink. Glenfiddich isn't that great. Definately go single malt though rather than a blend.

For single malts the following I think are excellant :

Speyside Scotches:

The Belvenie
Cragganmore

Highland scotches:

Dalmore
Dalwhinnie

Islay Scotches:

Lagavulin
Laphroaig ------------ My favorite to compliment a cigar


The above all get better with age as long as your pallete has aquired the taste. Early on you my find a 10yr old to be much more paletable then an 18 yr old. You my also find blended scotches much more to your liking in the early stages. I still like some blends sort of as the "everyday inexpensive but tasty" same way you have your inexpensive cigar. For that I would recommend:

Johnny Walker Black---- excellant blend for small money
The Cigar Malt by Dalmore ---- another excellant blend for small money

But just like cigars its an aquired taste and everybody has there own favorites.

Mmmm Balvenie DoubleWood!

I'll second that!! This goes best with a medium-bodied full flavored smoke, a match made in heaven.
