I once had a bottle of Jura given as a gift.
Not really a whiskey man, but as you do, I manned up and drank it.
Remember thinking single malt was nicer than blended.
Woke up in my own vomit.
Can’t remember much else.
When the fun stops, stop!

Prefer bourbon over whisky, my fave is Evan Williams cherry reserve, customer over in the USA introduced me to it and have never been without a bottle in the house ever since
 
I have to consider scotch whiskey and bourbon whiskey completely separate categories. As to the former, Oban has long been my go-to whiskey, but the best I've had may have been Balvenie. As to bourbon, I've been an aficionado since before I was legally allowed to drink it (I think I had George Dickel in my baby bottle). My "every day" bourbon is Maker's Mark, but the special occasion brand is Four Roses (single barrel).

Knob Creek bourbon is my favourite. It's a Jim Beam.

They do a single barrel version but it's twice the price and inferior imo. At 60% it's just a tad too fiery.

Speyside I like and one I tried recently I can't remember the name of, maybe because I drank too much of it.

I'm sure you can cream for your Knob creek Kemps
 
Bowmore is my favourite distillery - particularly a long-aged sherry cask one. But I like every Islay whisky, hence why I'll be making my third visit to the island this year. Outside of Islay I like Springbank and Clynelish (particularly the Distillers Edition). Not as keen on the Speysides - just too light for me, although there are exceptions, (Dailuaine 16YO is excellent if you can find it).
 
I treat myself to a bottle of Talisker Skye over the festive period, lovely distiller's edition.
Was £39 on offer for £25 in tesco, well worth picking one up if still on offer.
 
Jamesons the stand out whiskey for its smoothness. But if it has to be a scotch, Laphroaig is rather nice - very distinctive smokey flavour.

Talisker at £25 is a great buy. Very peaty and smokey. I think it's the best of that kind of whisky.
