I am not going to take a frenchman to court for racims if he calls me a "roast beef". Wake up and stop being so bloomin stiff and starchy. And sorry for the whisky spelling mistake, I stand corrected...

Dont need to repeat comments form others regarding "Jockland" and "Whiskey" but like a few have said it depends on taste. If you are wanting to mix it with anything then go for any cheap whisky - it wont matter. However if you are going to drink it neat (or with a small splash of water) then you are looking at the single malts which are all good and depend on taste. Try the website below for tips/info for the difference but I like Macallan which is from Speyside - they tend to be smoother as do the ones from Lowlands.

I assume you refer to "Scotch Whisky" from Scotland as against elsewhere. Spelling and xenophobia aside I think, that you best address whether you mean single malt, grain or blended whiskies.
For those who have a preference for light tastes Lowland single malts and J&B Rare are excellent examples. For the heavier palate, try Highland Park as others have suggested or one of the heavier Speysides (Macallan, Glenfarclas etc).
To get the best of all tastes: light; medium; heavy, try the Islay malts. These are Bunnahabhain(Boona-have-in); Bowmore; Caol Ila; Bruichladdich; Ardbeg; Lagavulin; Laphroaig and the rarer Port Ellen. There are various age statments for all of these distilleries and "exclusive" bottlings, so decide how much you want to spend.
If you need any more information, there are many websites that can help.

Whiskey isn't made in jockland as you so graciously put it.
Whiskey can be Irish, American, Canadian etcetera but in Scotland it's called WHISKY.
There are literally hundreds of different types and ultimately it boils down to personal taste. There seems to be a snobbish "upper class" ?] element about who will tell you that Brand A is so much better than Brand B but that is just a load of hogwash.
Personally I think that The Famous Grouse is as good as any.

In Scotland it is always called "Whisky", not "Whiskey". "Best" is subjective - your taste and mine might be very different. My own favourite are blended malts which are quite unusual. The blender choose a range of Malt whiskies (A malt comes from a single distillery) and blends them together with no grain whisky at all. I find some single malts a bit too powerful in flavour whereas a blend of malts can be smoother.

There is no such place as 'jockland'
Scotland, on the other hand has quite a few good whiskys, I like the single malts from the Isle of Skye or Shetland, (Talisker/Highland Park)
Ireland has the best however, and its called Whiskey there...
Bushmills 21 yr old is my fav.

Depends on your taste. Co-op whiskey is a really tasty and cheap blend, it's good with a mixer or water. If you want a single malt, it'll cost you. Price does not always mean better. Of the usual blends, one of the best is 'Famous Grouse'. It has a good flavour and is not expensive.
