I will be visiting Balvenie later this year on a short hunting trip/anniversary trip. Here was dinner last night...     Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went with the Balvenie Portwood 21! Here’s a lineup of a few he got from friends         Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I personally like the Portwood aged 21 years... But look at the link provided and pick your poison.   But check out their collection and descriptions: https://www.thebalvenie.com/our-whisky-range/

Would be cool if I could get him a basket of samplers like Jerzguy2 said. A bunch of different ones he could try and see what else he likes without getting a whole bottle.

Buy him $200 worth of airplane bottles. Handy to have in your pocket for various occasions.

Sapere aude.

Audeamus.

When you cannot measure, your knowledge is meager and unsatisfactory.

Anything from the Isle of Islay is a good choice.  This is like picking a bride out for your friend though.  To each his own.  I have had a taste of most everything mentioned here.  My favorites are all between 50-100.  Had some of the higher priced ones that were just like drinking fire.  Not to my taste at all.

So Saturday is a 40th birthday dinner for a good friend of mine, he likes his scotch and scotch blends. 

Wanted to get him something different but still similar to what he prefers, but I know very little about scotch. 

I can only tell you what he tends to like which are Glenfiddich, Glen Livet, Glenmorangie, and Johnnie Walker.

Any time there is a party (holidays, birthdays, etc)...someone brings a JW Blue Label and it's gone in short order.

I could get him something like a 12/15/18 yr old of the above scotches too to play it safe, but figured I'd ask if anyone here is into scotch.

 

Any recommendations?

Price I'd like to hang in the $200 and under crowd, but he's a good friend, so I'd splurge another $100 if it was worth the stretch :)

What did you decide?

Johnnie blue is ehhhh for the money, buy DblBlack

 

Real scotch, Jura, Oban, any Balvenie, Dalmore,Auchentoshan, Talisker, Lagavulin, and my new fav is Bruichladdich (brook laddie) if you can find black arts, it is about 250$ but the most amazing scotch I have tasted to date.

 

Blends...not my thing

 

OH and Aberlour is also great

Here you go.. Just get a bunch and put together a sampler basket. Or if he fishes get a tackle box and fill it up with the sample bottles

I will be starting a thread on the addition and probably will have a game dinner once it is opened up as long as I fill my Elk tag later this year.
