Given the thought provoking discussion and debates in the "Advice on champagne" thread, I thought it'd be a great idea to start another thread on whisky in the hope that someone here may be able to assist with my suboptimal (ie, non-existent) knowledge of whisky!
The OH's birthday is coming up soon and he likes his whisky. I'm thinking of getting him a 'nice' bottle of whisky. Can someone recommend what I should get? Thinking around the $150 mark, something mid range yet delicious. A boutique brand is also always welcome in our household for extra kudos.
Unfortunately I know nothing about whisky. It's well outside my boozy horizons. Given I don't drink the stuff, he's only had it when we go out and so I've never paid attention to what he orders.
I recall Lagavulin was quite a fave of an ex co-worker who drinks the stuff like I drink my vino or champagne, so that's the only whisky brand i know. Oh and the OH won't touch Johnnie Walker because it's not 'real' whisky. (??)
