Most afficionados prefer the single-malt scotches, of which GlenLivet is probably the best known & most widely distributed. It’s darn good, but few single malt gurus would call it the best. There are probably 2 dozen single malt whiskeys, Laphroaig is another. Of course, there is a hierarchy of cost and rarity.
I would just caution you, that once you taste these, ordinary blended scotch is gonna taste like cheap beer!

First off, I’d say the best scotch is the one you like the best. Unfortunately it’s not that simple for me as I like different scotchs at different times. Depends on where I am, the weather, what I’m eating. etc. If I could only have one scotch the rest of my life I’d go with Highland Park.

I’m a recovering alcoholic so it’s been a while since I indulged, but during my career I became intimately familiar with a number of fine single malts. Among my favorites were the various finishes (imparted by the type of wood they are aged in) from Glen Morangie. They were very smooth...

Save your money. After the first sip they all taste the same. Trust me. Once the acohol hits your taste buds and numbs them out you won't be able to tell Glenlivet from Cutty Sark. Don't believe me, do a taste test some time for the fun and educational value.

I enjoy The Macallan. I went to a Johnnie Walker tasting one time, and the guy in charge (kilts and all) asked me what kind of Scotch I enjoyed. I mentioned The Macallan, and he said that means I must enjoy a sweeter taste, like a Toasted Almond ice cream bar. I had never thought of it that way (and actually, still don’t) but it is damned good Scotch, and a tad more approachable than some of the others mentioned.
My kids just got me a bottle of GlenMorangie Astar for my birthday, and it tastes like Scotch that wants to be Brandy. It is a startling 57.1% alcohol (times two for the Proof, which is 114.2) and must be taken in small, delicious doses.

McCallan's is a nice, distinctive single malt-good stuff. I also like Glen Morangie, Glen Fiddich and Glen Livet, in no certain order.
One of the best blends I've ever had is Balvenie, available in several different styles. Just excellent Scotch. Johnnie Walker Black ain't too shabby, either.
