Best single-malt Scotch...

I have to give credit to Redwiki for the inspiration to start this thread. Yes, certain malts better compliment certain music or certain moods. Of the fifteen or so different malts in my cabinet right now, my favorites are: Aberlour "Antique", similar to the popular Macallan, but not as syrupy; a bit drier, light hearted and less complicated; great with Mozart and Brubeck. Mortlach "Limited Edition" cask strength. Powerful, smoky, mysterious. Great with Bartok, Berg and late 'Trane. Loch Morar 25 yr old. Incredibly complex and intense, with a hint of honey and flowers. Great with Poulenc, Stravinsky and Bill Evans. Any other single-malt aficionados out there?

Wow just stumbled on this rich spiritual thread...my personal fav is Strathisla(owned by Chivas)with a few chunks of ice and a dash of...you drink to enjoy and not to conform.Bliss with Cohen and occasionally Beethoven's 9th.

Glad to see this thread still has life. Cpdunn99 is right on the money; it is amazing what a single drop of water (preferably spring water) can do to open up the flavor of a quality malt. More than a drop if you are drinking a cask-strength malt such as Mortlach.

Enjoy!

Lagavulin here too. I went to a scotch tasting recently and some were priced above 200 a bottle but the old standby was still my favorite.
