Er, looks like my post is the first one since 2005? Not sure how I even stumbled upon this thread, I thought it was new :hmm:

My favorite is Auchentoshan. In general I think I prefer the darker scotches for whatever reason, as the more pale ones like Laphroaig taste like aqueous burnt cheese.

The darker scotches tend to be aged in "darker" barrels. Sherry, port... and will add fruit flavors to the whisky.
