And Craig, I recommend the Glenfiddich 15 Years Special Reserve. That's a really great whiskey
But seeing as we're on the topic of malt... try a Balvenie 12 y.o., Longmorn 15 y.o. or a Springbank 10 y.o. (the Springbank really needs a drop of water in it to open it up, though)
The Balvenie is Glenfiddich's sister distillery 5 minutes up the road from it and produces much smaller quantities of a much richer, sweeter style dram. The 10 y.o. is very good as well, but not as good - IMHO.
Incidentally - if you can find it (and the cash for it - it's about £90) - the Macallan 18 y.o. Gran Riserva is probably the best whisky I've tasted and whoops much older whiskies (older whiskies does not necessarily = better whiskies, btw...)
... drinking tea at the mo (cheap carp supplied by the office... I've run out of Earl Grey )
