spec me a whisky for a leaving present

Hi All,

I know nothing about Whisky but someone from work is leaving and does enjoy a quality whisky and I was just wondering what would be a suitable bottle to buy and from where.

Price will probably be between the £50 - £100 mark. Is the whiskyshop.com the best place to pick it up from or is there somewhere better?

Thanks in advance.

unfortunately I don't. I've only ever seen him drink the usual stuff available in pubs but I think he enjoys the usual sort of bottles like bells, johnnie walker black label, Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie etc.

I know these probably have different taste profiles but I was hoping to find something that would be pleasing to most people.

thanks for the link.

has given me some ideas.

i had no idea that Whisky could be so complex in flavours. (not a fan myself)

so was thinking about this Tomintoul 21 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Anyone tried it? would it appeal to a broad taste. It seems to be a fairly light whisky

I think the added value here is the hip flask as nice set.

I am presuming this will be the hip flask that is sent

Well it says just above the price. I have contemplated a number of different bottles and time is against me in terms of ordering so I have ordered the Tomintoul.

Without knowing exact tastes I wanted to make sure I get something he will enjoy. Thanks for all the suggestions.

It gives me some thoughts for what to get my dad at Christmas.
