mcsven said:The Macallan is good stuff also, and you can pay as much as you want depending on age. Be careful though, some of these whiskey's are damned strong - I bought my father some Talisker recently and found it pretty brutal stuff. So you might want to check out his tastes first.
Jimmers said:And yes, that's my suggestion. I've never had any whiskey better than Jack, but then, I've never had anything that costs more than $40/fifth.
I second that! Better than Jonny Walker, though. Personally i'd go for an 18 year old McAllen. Maybe with a second bottle of 12 year old McAllen so he can compare to see the difference age makes.JD is *not* whiskey! It's paint stripper!
Diplo said:Well, personally I would look for one of the single Island malts from around the Scottish coastline. My favourite of these is Laphroaig. It has a very distinctive smokey/peaty taste and is quite unusual (though it's not to everyone's liking). Not sure if or where you can get it in the States.
