For Scotch, absolutely do not buy anything without the drinker’s input. Bourbon- for what you are spending - I’d say the same.

Yes, but if he’s a true scotch guy he likes all types and recognizes they all have their place and occasion.

Bourbon sucks after 10 years do NOT go beyond. For scotch depends on whether he likes peaty or not but tough to go wrong with McAllen or Balvenie. Don’t go with a “finished” type of product at this age.

25 year is not really a thing in the Scotch world. Maybe look at a Port.

This bottle is $800 if you can find it. The name at least makes it worth it!
Nice!

That’s kind of what I was thinking. Have never seen 25 year anything so wasn’t even sure it’s a thing. And honestly just trying to be cute to tie into our anniversary. Forgot about CW…

For scotch, it depends what he likes. McCallan would be an reasonably mainstream choice b

DH likes both, and I want to get him a 25-year-old bottle of Scotch or Bourbon for our 25th anniversary, but I don't know what's good/worth the money. Any recommendations, including where to buy in the DMV, would be appreciated. TIA!
