Good bottle of scotch recommendation

[Anonymous]

I need to get a Scotch connoisseur a nice gift.

He prefers less smokey/peaty. My budget is like, probably up to $300.

Any recommendations? I don’t really know one bottle from another. Thanks!

Johnnie Walker Swing. It is smooth like velvet. The bottle rocks back and forth and it was Lyndon Johnson's preferred alcoholic beverage.

,"Complex and sophisticated with almost perfumed sweetness. Unquestionably soft and accessible, you are sure to notice the fanciful vanilla and sherry-cask wood notes wafting."

I only have smokey recommendations. There is supposed to be a liquor store in NW DC that has hard to find scotch whiskey. They would be a good place to start.

Don’t get some Johnnie walker blend. I don’t care how expensive

Maybe Glenfarclas 25 yr old. Generally you should be ok with a good Speyside.

Balvenie would also be a good group to look at. The Doublewood 17 is a bit above your price range (from what I can see online; I haven't bought any in years), but always good.

Highland Park - wonderful and pricey but still WAY below your price limit.

Going out in the sun is linked to cancer, gotta live a little. And honestly people who enjoy scotch like this individual are not pounding alcohol, they sip for taste.

Very little joy in life is gained from telling others to stop enjoying life’s small pleasures because they might die.

Thanks for the other recs I’ll look into them!

Drinking habitually is enough to do you in. This is like giving someone a pack of cigarettes - and it’s my business because like with lung cancer, my taxes and health insurance premiums are paying for all this.

Buying someone a $300 bottle of scotch but not knowing a thing about scotch or cancer makes you seem like … a try hard.

Don’t think I’m the problem.
