I'd recommend Bowmore Black or Glen Grant paxarete, but both are effectively Unobtanium these days. The Bowmore was distilled in 1969, and a bottle, if you can find one, probably goes for five figures now.

These days I might suggest Tomatin. It's relatively little known because it's primarily bespoke production for blenders, who use it as a base in blends. But it's a sherried expression comparable to Macallan, and an 18 year old can be had for about a third of what Macallan 18 would cost me in NYC.

Well....sadly, or...well, happily, I guess, if you were to know me, I'm a FOB (Friend o'Bill's). The demon rum is no longer something in which I'm able to indulge. (sob). Wish I could--and I was a single-malt girl, before I quit, but...ixnay on that. My genetics say NOPE to that. Or, rather, a really loud YES that doesn't have an off switch, so...back to NOPE.
