Good whiskey for Christmas?

Any

Hi everyone,

My OH and my brother love whiskey. They drink & buy good whiskey (not stuff like Jack Daniels if you know what I mean) but proper brewery (is it called brewery?) whiskey... Like 12 yr old or 15 yr old from some Scottish/Irish places..

You can see I don't understand whiskey much:rotfl::rotfl:

I would like to buy them something unusual, something to drink for special occassions..

Can you recommend some label please?

Budget £25-30??

Those sites are cool. Thank you very much.

One my hubby loves is Laphroaig (had to get the bottle to spell it).
It's supposed to have a peaty/smokey flavour.
Sometimes Morrison's have it on special offer at £18 per bottle (70cl), or it's normally about £23 per bottle.

If you can find it try to get some Black grouse, its a special edition the famous grouse did for charity and it is amazing. My DH loves whiskey, is a real connoisseur in fact, and when he was given some as a present he raved about it for weeks.
I, on the other hand, prefer bourbon and always mix it with coke, but apparently that makes me a heathen ;-)

OH did have 12 yr old Famous Grouse and as we have many in the cupboard I once reached for this one in absence of my Jack Daniels (I also mix with coke) and if look can kill I would be dead now.. I rather put it back and had Malibu & coke instead...

So thank you, I might try to find this one as I know for sure he would appreciate it.

Scotch Whisky does not have an e in the spelling only American types do, ie bourbon.

Go for a good malt.

Glenmorangie Original 10 Year Old Single Malt Whiskyis one of my favourite Scottish single malts.

Bushmills 10 Year Old Single Malt Whisky is my favourite Irish single malt.

Looking at the packaging on Google we already had this one... Would have to somehow carefully ask if he liked it a lot. Otherwise I would like to buy something he didn't have yet.

I second Laphroaig, it is a lovely drop of whisky.

I like too Lagavullin, also peaty and smokey.
