+1 for Highland Park 12, I enjoy several others too, but like this quote:
"I strongly recommend that the Scotch single malt be "approached" in the same manner that one would a member of the opposite sex that may intrigue you. An open mind, patience, sincere attention to detail and an opportunity for it to reveal and exhibit its unique special qualities may disclose an "individual" whose company you can enjoy on many occasions. It could also be that you will meet that individual who you will want to spend a lifetime with."
12 to 18 year old whiskies are usually a sweet spot taste and $$ wise
When still working I usually spent half the year in Japan, enjoyed many of their single malts. I also tried Hibiki 12 & 17 which is a Japanese blended whisky, surprise, blended whisky can be quite enjoyable.
