My friend Clyde, past president of the clan Campbell in the colonies, was a staunch Glenmorangie man.

Since getting into scotch, I've been hitting Compass Box's blends pretty hard. I understand it's a bit of a cult, but these are all rich, complex scotches that run the range from interesting and drinkable (Oak Cross) to deep and rich (Spice Tree) to super peaty but still multi-layered (Flaming Heart).
I've been trying to find a nice single malt that can equal these, because everyone's always very excited for single malts, but I keep coming up short. I've had a number of 12 years that weren't anything special; they tend to just hit one note. The closest to interesting I've found is the Oban 14.
Where should I go from here? I'm not adverse to spending on the right bottle (Flaming Heart is in the $150 range), but am getting pretty gun shy. If I spring for something older, am I going to be buying complexity?

A friend brought some back from Japan a few weeks back, and poured me a glass. It was very nice, I think you will enjoy it.Originally Posted by theJanitor
Got this gift from a friend last night. Maybe I’ll crack it open this weekend.

Forgot to post that I ordered a couple of these Glencairn glasses this week. Never really had a real Whisky glass before so it’s kinda cool to try.

I’m making a simple chili dish with a baked sweet potato on the side; The Boss is in NC this week so it’s just been me and the dog. I think it will go with Scotch ok.

^^^What, you couldn't just throw some haggis together?
Those Glencairn glasses make it taste better. I may have to break mine out later tonight depending on whether our company opts for beer or spirits.
There's nothing civil about this war.
My favorite single malts are tallisker and glenmorangie. My favorite blended scotch is famous grouse.
I'm a big fan of peat so I was surprised at how much I liked Glenmorangie.
My favorite single malts, so far, are Lagavulin 16 and Talisker 10. At some point I hope to try other offerings from both distilleries.
For blended scotch it's hard to beat Compass Box. For something very inexpensive with a bit of peat, I like Teacher's Highland Cream.
