As much as I like Islays, if I could only have one Scotch (thank dog I don't have to) it would be HP-12. Scores around 90 in the book.
I'll probably have to second the Hiland Park vote. I just bought a bottle this afternoon--came with a small shot-sized bottle of the 18--and I have to say that for the price it's almost impossible to beat. Nice and peaty, but very refined. . . or something.
My local store has the best selection of whisky I've ever seen. I was really drooling over the Glenmorangie Elegance in that really nice decanter, but it was $229, and I wasn't feeling that flush. Take a look at it here: http://www.internetwines.com/rws24846.html
