I had a Nikka Yoichi 20 year old back when it first won some world whisky award or other and it was absolutely, completely outstanding. As an amateur I could easily pick out the nuances of tastes described by the judges. A total world apart from the standard £30 supermarket 'big namers'. Not sure if the current Nikka Yoichi 20s are as good (they cost about £180), but if you can track down one from the 'winning' casks I'll bet it'll fit the bill.
Decent single malt whiskey - £300-400
- Thread starter Hatter The Mad
- Start date
Why not buy him a whisky tour? He can go round a few distilleries then.
Expensive whisky doesnt always = a much better whisky.
I have a few im collecting and making a good profit off, Port Ellen for instance paid less than £100 its already at £160 on most sites, so its more about how rare certain bottles are.
This is nice, gone up a bit since i had a bottle, about 39 year old.
