I'm a bit embarassed. I couldn't find the sell sheets from the liquor reps to note which ones I tried. However i remember the flavours I liked.
Caramel
toasty
spice
light smoke
I 've only tasted scotches at industry tastings and during liquor rep visits. And you can't trust their advice, all their products are excellent.

Glenlivet. A good 12 year old Speyside Single Malt. A good place to start, and return.
The Macallan. It is very dark for a 12. Considered to be one of the best.
Here's some basic info you should know about Scotch Whiskey:
LOWLAND MALTS are generally found in a line running from Greenock to Dundee and include the major urban areas of Edinburg, Glasgow and the South. Overall, this style of whisky lacks a signature malty taste. Their light, and sometimes sweet and more delicate character makes them popular for use in blending.
ISLAND MALTS can be recognized by their peaty smell. The taste is an acquired one and perhaps best exemplified by Laphroaig and Lagavulin. If they originate from Jura or Mull there can be a hint of saltiness, even a kippery flavor in the after-taste.
HIGHLAND MALTS come from one of the most beautiful areas of Scotland, where a gentle blend of altitude and mountain water imparts a depth of flavor and quality. The Edradour--acclaimed as the jewel in the crown of Highland malts--Glenmorangie is a fine example of this smooth heather-honey style.
SPEYSIDE MALTS are acknowledged as perhaps the most outstanding of the single malts. Classic malts, such as Aberlour, are the result of a combination of natural elements that have set the region apart from all others.

If you want something REALLY good, go for the Macallan 25. Caution, though, it runs something like $300 per bottle. A full serving (shot) of it is $37.50 at my work.

Lots. Can you edit your question to tell me what you've already tried, and what you liked about them? Then I'll re-edit with personalised recommendations. Oh, and price-point.

Glenlivet or Glenfiddich - (sorry if I spelled them incorrectly)
