Have you tried the Ardbeg? The 17 is amazing. The 10 is also pretty awesome.

(I still have only bought one bottle ever in my life as almost $200 is quite an investment in a whiskey, no matter how fine.) I like the old Bushmills Single Malt 10. It's warm, with no bite. The 16 yr old Bushmills Single Malt has a little bit more wood to the taste. It's definitely a great whiskey, but I prefer the 10. It's like carmel going down. For the garden variety sipping whiskey, the Jameson single malt is good and for a blend, my favorite is Tullamore Dew. If he's a scotch fan, Laphroaig is a wonderful, very complex, whiskey. Lots of peat in the flavor and it's best brought out on special occasions. My downstairs neighbor always has a stock of it and brings up the bottle once in a while to share a dram. Good luck!

I don't drink it very much, mostly because I never think to try it, and I'm looking for recommendations for while I offer him. I was thinking I'd get him two or three bottles of rather different whiskeys so he can make up his mind about what he might enjoy. I think the Jameson Midleton is a bit beyond what I wanted to spend - by a factor of three or so. Thanks for sharing. And now back to your single malts...
