I haven't bought whisky in ages, and I want to buy a bottle as a present. What's the best of the popular single malt scotchs nowadays? I'm stuck on glenfiddich/macallan/glenmorangie which are the ones I used to drink back in the time.

If you want to be a little bit exotic but still give quality, Nikka from the barrel is quite decent.
