I don't think anyone says otherwise...just that some of us happen to appreciate the craftsmanship and variety of scotch. You asked what the difference was, I shared what little knowledge I have.

What did you think of the Macallan, and how many years old was it?

Macallan has so many varieties but I had the gold, green and amber. They (like many distilleries) are going away from age statements and going with cask varieties instead. But I'd say the majority might be in the 10-18 year old range.
I like sherry cask whisky so I preferred the amber.
 
Isn't that funny, I just posted this in the off topic...

What would you recommend for someone who loves Glenmorangie to try? I haven't tried a whole heap, but Glenmorangie 18 yr old is probably the best whisky I've tasted.

I've had the likes of laphroaig which just knocked me on my arse.

If you didn't like the Laphroaig and prefer the highlands you probably wont like this but Ardberg Corryvreckan is a nice Islay mouthful and worth trying. You might like some of the Oban whiskies, or thereabouts.

Ardbeg is my favourite distillery. Uigedail is simply divine.

Anything speyside mate. Try Tamdhu, Glenlivit, Glen Elgin, Dalwhinnie, Cardhu and Cragganmore.
Also Glengoyne from the highlands.
All of those are very pleasant and light.
 
I've tried really hard to be a scotch wanker but I just can't do it, single malts make me want to gag, I don't get why why people look down their nose at blends. I don't mind admitting I love a mainstream blend, give me royal salute or JW gold anyday.

You're obviously trying the wrong single malts for your tastes then. I've never had a problem with blends, and had some JW green label last night..
I just prefer exploring the individual differences in in taste of single malts from different regions.
