Scotch (Whiskey/Whisky/Bourbon) Discussion Thread

got some of this for fathers day

[redred]

Can someone recommend me a nice bottle of whiskey in the $50-75 range? I don't know shit about whiskery/rye as I can't seem to develop a taste for it, but my brother loves it and I'd like to get him a nice bottle for his birthday. Something fairly easy to find preferably as it'll have to be available in Canada. I'm imagining it'll be more expensive here too so I'm saying $50-75 US in hopes to find something around $100 up here.

Thanks gents!

do you know what type he likes ? the reason is there are so many different tastes , FJ seems to like ones that have been sat in mud for years were as i like a sweeter type

Not exactly. He told me once he liked Glenfiddich 12 but found the older stuff kinda funky (not sure why)

Cant go wrong with a Glennfiddich or Jameson

got it for £13.50 very nice but not as good as the signature blend which is £8 more ,still working out if its better value

[redred]

I've looked at that, any good?

[deebakes]

i really like it, it is quite reasonable in price here. do you have it straight or mixed?

[redred]

I don't normally drink blended scotch but Monkey Shoulder is very good and is in my opinion a better drop than Chivas.

I recently got a bottle of special Oban not available in Australia other than the duty free at the airport and it was one of the best I have ever tasted.

a mate of mines dad give me half a bottle of this , he got bored with it

it's one of the best i've tasted and not cheap either at £60 a bottle , i now need to work out how i'm going to be able to get another bottle

i'd agree with that , the chivas was on a really good offer over christmas
