First, Scotch whisky is whisky. I can't speak for the spelling of Irish or American versions.

Second, all the single malts you mention are excellent. Highland Park is one of my favourites. Two further suggestions: Talisker and Macallan. Very different, but both splendid in their way.

Enjoy - and as an experiment, try a single malt with a little water. Never ice!

I dont recall ever having Dewar and since I dont know what flavors you are seeking in your whisky, what you might be missing. Tell me about what you enjoy in what you are drinking. Is it the smokey Peet, or maybe is it the sweetness that you are seeking. What does a good whiskey taste like to you?

Typically the shop bought whiskies available are the easiest to drink,and lowest in value. The tastier whiskies will be much more expensive,but alot more tasty.
I myself,can only afford the everyday shop bottle's. Jameson is a particular favourite,wish whiskey ( whisky is Scottish, whiskey is Irish)

Im not a whiskey person.... but i do like it with milk.

Yeah, yeah, dont scream at me in shock - its a really nice drink before sleep, (smoother flavour), and the milk makes it sit better in your stomach and softens the blow next morning.
