For Lowlands, I enjoy Auchentoshan 10 year which is light, smooth, sweet (but not overwhelmingly sweet), delicate and fruity. As for Speyside, not sure where to start, long list - that includes The Balvenie (21 year Portwood), Cragganmore 12 year, Glenrothes, The Macallan Cask Strength, Aberlour A'Bunadh Cask Strength (robust), Glenfarclas, and of course Glenlivet 18 year (my 1st scotch) and Glenfiddich Solera....

Jojo- After reading your "short list", I found myself agreeing whole-heartedly with the suggestions that I have also tasted. I now find myself copying down the ones I have not yet tried! You are a well-spring of good information! Thank you!
