Lagavulin 16 is in a class all its own, but I find that in general my preference often goes towards younger versions, c.8-12yo or those w/o age statement (usually blending youngsters w/ the old). The 18yo+ versions are nice, but seldom enough to move into my regular rotation. And even more than age, I'm finding that I REALLY prefer non-chill filtered versions, like Ardbeg, Laphroaig Cask strength and Quarter Cask, Bruichladdich, etc.
And speaking of things in the daily rotation, ++ for the B52's reference.
