What is the best whisky

My vote goes for Dalwhinnie. Visited the distillery a couple of years ago whilst visiting Pitlochery. Very interesting to see how it's made.
 
Back in the 1997-2000 era I used to drink a bit of Loch Dhu. I purchased it in the Military liquor store at Fort Bragg and really liked the flavor and color. When I moved back to Germany in 2000 I could no longer find the brew. Circa 2004 or 2005 I found it listed as discontinued and then later on as available but at unreasonable prices. What happened?

Grouse, Bells or Whyte & Mackay when they are selling at about £16 per litre.
I have about nine or ten various bottles in stock at the moment.
I do not drink more but drink longer and cheaper as interest rates on money are so bad.

In an hour or so it will be Mr Bells tonight with 5 spoons of sugar, boiling water and 2 painkillers before I go off to bed.

HWH.

I remember Loch Dhu, it tasted a lot smoother than it looked like it was going to (looked like tar!) :D

They only produced it for a couple of years in the 90's so there probably isn't much left, hence silly prices!
 
I have searched this very interesting thread and cannot find the whisky I love for relaxing - Dalwhinnie absolutely lovely and not as complex as many but for taste it suits me. That said, I do like a Lagavulin now and again but dread the headache the following day. I've tried the japanese whiskies and find them hot and poor in taste.
Penderyn is a refreshingly different whisky but mine may have been a bit 'young'.
I never take anything with i, like many on here, but beware, Dalwhinnie has led me to many reminiscences and long sessions with late nights and alarming consumption !
The rocking chair is an added bonus but a good view in bad weather is the clincher for me.
 
My overall favourite is Glenmorangie, but I also really like Glenlivet and Glenfiddich.

For blended I really like Chivas Regal or Johnnie Walker.

The Nikka is rather nice IMHO. Nothing beats a Port Ellen though.

Yes, Jameson's is good stuff much as it pains me as a Scot to say that.
Jameson's Gold is a very nice blended whisky with an individual taste at a good price.

Jameson top shelf allways
 
A trip to the Whisky Castle in Tomintoul is always an eye opener; called in one morning last week, and after a tasting session I left with two bottles that I'd not heard of before; Glenburgie and Old Ballantruan.
