Old Pulteney is a favourite of mine. If you like that I can recommend Clynelish, another distillery on the north-eastern coast. If you can find it, Brora is fantastic stuff. It came from the same distillery as Clynelish.
If you go to a decent merchant you can usually get independently bottled whisky. Gordon & MacPhail do a range labelled Connoisseurs' Choice. There are some great whiskies and also rare and unusual bottlings. Try also to get it at cask strength; commercial whisky is usually bottled at 40% (for tax reasons IIRC); cask strength is considerably stronger so dilutes better. If you want to be a purist use bottled (Highland?) water, not the foul-tasting stuff that we get out of the tap.

Got to be Jack Daniels Single Barrel, ain't nowt better. Closely followed by JD old no'7. No ice, just as it comes from the bottle.
FYI. Jack Daniels Oak barrels are only used once in the whiskey making process, b4 they lose the unique flavour. Then some are sold in the gift shop for $40 (i bought one, it's now my coffee table). But 95% are exported and sold to scotish whiskey makers to make scotch in. Think about that next time your drinking your McWhiskey, there's a little bit of redneck in there somwhere. YeHaaaaaaaaa!
