[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg... these were my faves when I drank scotch. I like them peaty/smokey. Balvenie is much closer to a bourbon profile drink, as is Macallen. Less smoke, more sweetness. Nice bourbons are easy; ask the seller or judge by price. Woodford Reserve is always a safe bet, and easy to find.

Giving someone a "really nice" bottle of booze requires knowing what they like. Give an Islay person a Speyside and they'll know that it's good, but not LOVE it they way they might if you'd asked them what they like. I'd suggest a conversation about this, or at least a good look at what's already on their bar/booze shelf. Find what they already drink and then find the nicest version of that you can afford.[/quote]

PP here: this was my favorite bottle of scotch I ever had: https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/laphroaig/laphroaig-25-year-old-cask-strength-whisky/ The nuance in this was incredible, opened a bit with water, shifted a bit with ice... a beautiful sip, and I thought it was worth the money for a "big treat" bottle.
