JW Red
Chivas Regal 12 (never had the 18 or 25 but I'm sure I would like it based on how much I like the 12!)
Dewars White, 12

I am not a huge of fan of the JW black.

I can't really put my finger on it but it has this sweetness that I find a little unappealing. I am just as happy with the Red for $10 less.

I saw a couple people mention Cutty Shark - is it really not bad? I've always been tempted.

I just picked up a bottle of "Te Bheag" from the LCBO at $36 a bottle. This is amazing stuff for a blend. Smooth as a billiard ball.

That's great stuff isn't it.

Apparently it has a higher malt content than most blends, therefore it tastes more like a single malt.

Chivas 18 for me hands down...

JW Gold

the green and blue are good too, cannot stand the red and black

but the Gold never disappoints

Grant's Very tasty and smooth. Made by or part of the Glenfiddich brand.

Dewers white - tried and true

I'm a big fan of the Dewars 18. It's consistently in my liquor cabinet since I tried it about a year ago. I generally don't like 12 yr old scotch, find it a bit too harsh. I've had a number of very good 15-16 yr ones, though they tend to be only in the single-malts.

The Grouse is the number one selling blend in Scotland, FWIW.
