My throat hurts and I want to die
does anyone have any recommendations for a nice mid-priced bottle of whisky for someone to give to their dad who is a bit into whisky?

You'll find that people's definition of 'mid-priced' varies quite a bit on here.

It was a bit Meh.

Jura's just rubbish entry level pishwater, much like Glenfiddich.

I prefer a blend
I don't care what you say I still like Jamessons

I like some blends.
Anti-blend snobbery is stupid. The only important thing is how good it tastes.

Naked Grouse if he likes sweet whiskies.
Ledaig if he likes peaty ones.

it's peaty as fuck, go easy with it.
Bruichladdich is also fucking lovely.

some rep bought me a bottle of Bruichladdich as a thank you for acting as a last-minute speaker for him at some event.
I was quietly impressed with it.

You're doing it wrong then
Usual protocol is to bang on incessantly about it on here.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 29 Jul 2013, 12:38, Reply)

it really is rather nice.
Quite strong though, so needs a tiny dash of water.

It goes well with gorgonzola.

If he's a bit into whisky
try Poit Dhubh as it's really not that common. It's also, strictly, a double malt, which might interest him.

a 12 year old will set you back about 30 sovs. Or 5 years in prison, depending if this paragraph is actually related to the previous one.

Would be my recommendation you can get the 12yr for about 30 quid and it has one of the best bottle shapes I have seen quite unusual.
