There are many great single malts available. It all depends however on what you like in terms of flavor profile.
For example, if you are a fan of honeyed, smooth, yet interesting drams, then try Cragganmore 12 years and Glenfiddich 15 Solera.
If you like sherried scotch, try: GlenDronach 12 or 15 yrs (the 15 is really impressive), Oban 14, Glenlivet 18.
If you like some smoke and toffee and a bit more challenging but rewarding flavor profile, try anything by Highland Park.
For those peat and smoke fans of Islay, probably the best is Lagavulin 16 years.
I know all this because, besides clothes, I am quite obsessed with scotch.
I operate a non-profit, independent scotch review blog for kicks: http://jason-scotchreviews.blogspot.com/

I like my share of Japanese whiskies and think they are a viable whisky variant. But we should really try to keep this thread dedicated to Scotch and its actual definition.

[COLOR=FF00AA]Why? Can't think that this forum really needs another thread to cover the non-Scotch whiskies.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=FF00AA]Do you work for the SWA or something? There are plenty of great non-Scottish whiskeys that can, and merit to be, discussed alongside traditional scotches. [/COLOR]
Don't they deserve pride of place in their own thread?
[COLOR=FF00AA]No, they are most similar to scotch and there is no reason to fragment the thread as they are not that popular or oft discussed[/COLOR].
So sorry but I disagree. Will we talk about Bourbon and Rye in this thread as well?
If so, then perhaps the thread ought to be renamed.

I am not knocking on Japanese whisky but this thread is about Scotch. Last time I checked, this thread is called "Any One for a Scotch?" not "Any One for a Scotch or something equivalent that is technically not a Scotch?"
I very much like this thread and have learned a great deal from it. I think the purpose of this thread is compromised once there are discussions about non-Scotch whiskies. Like DWF mentioned, I would react the same way if people started posting about bourbon or rye whiskey in this thread.
Hibiki is not all that impressive... try a Yoichi and you might have to give the Japanese whiskies their due, some/most of the Yoichis are fantastic.
