Stereotypical single malt scotch seems like an oxymoron to me. That said I have never had a blended scotch I like and only some single malts. I agree that the OP ought to try things to find out what he likes rather than others telling him what to drink or infuse (I'm not a fan).
MOW Ruination with J Cuervo Gold is my favorite pair, not sure it is much on infusing
I know I've said this elsewhere several times. I should be a paid spokesman. Try Eagle Rare 10yo single barrel bourbon or Buffalo Trace bourbon. Same distillery, both great bourbons with cheap price tags. If you want sweeter, try Forty Creek Canadian Blended whiskey. That stuff is like candy, but delicious adult candy.
I'm a big fan of a good bourbon or a good scotch with cigars. For bourbon I really enjoy Elijah Craig because it has a pleasant smokey flavor that compliments a cigar very well! For Scotch I enjoy Auchentoshan Three Wood or Ardbeg. Both fantastic Scotches that are very different.
