Dalwhinnie is quite nice when you're in the mood for something of the non-campfire variety. I try to keep a bottle of the "smoky" side and a bottle from the "delicate" side of the chart on hand. The Balvenie Double Wood is excellent and is, I believe, on sale at the PA state liquor stores for the next month or so. The Talisker 10 Year is also a big favorite. I currently have about 1/3 of a bottle of Talisker 57° North which Mrs. D got me at the duty-free shop on a trip to England. (The 57° refers to the latitude of the distillery; by non-coincidence it's bottled at 57% alcohol.) Ardbeg is just a bit too much for my taste, but the Laphroaig Quarter Cask is not bad.
