Yes, I imagine they think it is an abbreviation for Summer Time…

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. (??)

Paging Febs and notzac....

I would recommend Aberlour A'Bundah . Dan Murphy's currently has a member offer for $130.00 non- members $180.00

As said early in the thread there is a huge selection. take him to a whisky tasting and see what he likes. WLG INT departures has a tasting bar. I would suggest anything over $50 duty free would do and unless you know he likes peaty whisky, stay away from the Talisker's etc, unless imbibed at source!

i have a bad habit of having bigger eyes than stomach/liver

6 champagnes for now, and im going to wait hopefully the 12% of Dan code to come back and hopefully the Y18 is still at $2720 odd,

then im going to pull the trigger!

so you’ve pulled the trigger at $2103.93 after 15% off, 9% off gift cards?!

im going to be honest, embarrased to say, a bit of impulsive purchasing

I bought the yamazaki, 6x louis roederer, krug, a case of patron cafe, Lagauvulin 16, and a case of red from daily deals
