Stranded on a desert isle . . . with only one SINGLE MALT whisky to drink . . .
No others . . . only one, forever . . . What would it be?

Should have said . . with what you have tried, with only one choice .. . what would it be?

Yikes....

....erm, the one that would stand out the most for me would probably be a bottle of BenRiach 1990 Tawny Port finish 22 year old (cask 2596 if I remember correctly). To my tastes it was probably the most perfect dram.

I would have to say Ardbeg Uigeadail as it satisfies my taste for both sherry and peat.

I would choose highland park 30 to keep me company on a desert island

Wow, that's an almost impossible question. But in a desert island situation where I'm only allowed one bottle, I'd go for the Glenfarclas 1968 Family Cask.

If I could choose to be stranded on any Isle it would be Islay Smile

As Alex says, it is an almost impossible question but pushed to choose a single bottle i would have a bottle of The Macallan Oscuro

If I could choose one I've already had it would be Port Ellen 22 yrs. 1978 Rare Malts, O.B., 60.5%abv. If I could choose one I haven't tried, it would be Glenfiddich 50 Year, ridiculously expensive I know but cheaper than some.

Very difficult but for me guaranteed very old ardbeg 30 year old.
