Doubles need to be suitably big, nothing starting with a 3?

I have a 45-70 double half built but keep getting side tracked on other projects

I reckon a 12yo Cao ilia edges ahead of the Lagavulin... both good.

Minimum, age statement, not chill filtered, higher than 40%.
If he’s new to Whiskey go highland = no peat.

Buy local, there’s some good stuff in the South Island, I gave some to my son in law a $120 bottle, bought from the field days, he had some mates over for a whiskey night. First to go, and there was some very expensive shit on offer, was the South Island stuff

This is good whisky been through the distillery a couple of times

For Scotch whisky, Old Pultney.

For something that is actually good, Yamazaki or Suntory.

Glendronach ‘allardice’ is a favourite.
As mentioned above, lagavulin 16 is also very good, as is the 8yr old version.

+1 for Caol Ila. A bit of peat smoke but nicely balanced Lagavulin is great but a heavy hitter, so unless you know he’s into peated whisky, stick to Highland as someone else has said. Oban 14, Aberlour, Dalmore, etc.

Or Speyside I’d you want to play it safe - Glenmorangie is super easy to drink.

Check out whiskyandmore.com. Their specials change each week… If it was me right now, I’d go for the Arran. Very approachable, not too spendy and the bottle looks cool

Or pop into Whisky Galore and try before you buy

Correction to my last post - Glenmorangie is a Highland, and Aberlour is a Speyside.

Dalwhinnie and Macallan are also good Speysides, but give me an Islay any day!
