Couldn’t disagree more with this list. 3 of these are very peaty and for most average Joe’s these will be hard to swallow. I could never have a top 5 without Dalwhinnie 15, Glenfiddich 12 or 14, so many great Speyside scotches that I prefer.
This is such a bad bad top 5. These 5 are fine if you want something to spice up your coke. None of the top3 should even be considered decent. Pure commercial ick bait this is, so called experts. Pffffffff.
Glenfarclas for sure is my bestest best, other nominations also very desirable as are so many others! Two of my other favorites are Auchentoshan and Oban.
Never had a single malt that is not palatable.
The BEST Single Malt Scotch I have ever had is GLENFIDDICH 21 YEAR OLD RESERVA 🤩😍 I have had others and When I can always GO Back to the above… DREAM would be a Trip to SCOTLAND and Visit Dufftown in Moray and the Glenfiddich Distillery 🤩
Glengoyne 15-17 is a non-peated malt that is far better than most. Also, Mortlach 15 is an outstandingly smooth scotch, as is Johnny Walker Black. Cardhu, Bunnahabhain and Aberlour are also faves. But Talisker and Lagavulin? Ugh. I like scotch but do I want to taste it for two days straight? Nope. I do not.
So if you rightly understand that whisky from Scotland is never with an ‘e’, why does the title of this article use ‘whiskey’ ?
Informative, goes a long way toward helping me make a decision.
I am a heavy drink of Mauritius Rum any comments

I may say it, all Scotch whisky is at its best..
Agreed. But here far south from the equator in Africa, JW Black is still the most affordable good whisky…although not single malt.
Best Scotch whiskey is Grand Old Parr, aged 12 years.

Agreed! It should be at the top of the list 🙂
Where is Dewars?
Hopefully in the trash!
Will stay with Johnny Walker Black Label for its dark, charcoal flavor and consistent quality. Good enough for Winston Churchill.
Don’t think you can construct a list like this a not have Balvenie on it.
This list missed the mark, no mention of any of Glenmorangie’s offerings.
