Macallan single malt is very popular, the older the better, certainly nothing aged less than 10 years. My mom likes 12 year old Glen Fiddich single malt. My husband drinks 12 year old Laphroig single malt. I don't recommend Laphroig for your first try, it has a very distinctive smokey flavor which alot of people don't like. Although if you really like smoked foods and dark beer it might appeal to you. I believe you can get some of the single malts in the airplane bottles so that might be a good way to try scotch for the first time.

Macallan is a good start.
Glenmorangie is another.
Oban is a lightly flavored Scotch that's quite tasty and popular.
These are among dozens of good single malt Scotches.
Chivas Regal is among the best of blended Scotches.
Johnny Walker is a popular blended Scotch which comes in a variety of levels of quality. Red label is the least expensive, followed by green, black, gold, and the top one, blue label (around $150 USD for a 750ml bottle).
Have fun

If you haven't had it before, I suggest that whatever you get, you add water. Straight scotch is definitely an acquired taste.
I love me some scotch....

Glenlivet is a premium single malt scotch. If you've never tried it, I suggest you have it on ice and watered down with a lemon wedge.

Pinch is very nice. Single malt tasted the best and the longer it has been aged the better. Dalwinnie (spelling is probably wrong) is a little expensive but worth it
