Son bought me this for my birthday this year. I can highly recommend it although it doesn't match your age requirements.

I prefer speyside, as they're not so smokey, so I'd go for this.

Not a Scottish Whiskey, but MiddletonVery Rare is exceptional. Possibly just out of your budget though.

The scary part is they're out and about driving the next day like nothing happened...

No help to you but it reminded me of some 20-year-old Macallan that I drank. However 20- or 21-year-old Macalla is a little more than your price, and 25-year-old appears from time to time at Christie's

The only place I go to for my Whisky. Look up the out-turns for this period, which are.. cask numbers:

Or get him membership as a gift instead of just the bottle.

The only place I go to for my Whisky. Look up the out-turns for this period, which are.. cask numbers:

G1.5 @ 24 years £51 "Tantalising opulence"
39.39 @ 26 years £71 "Fisherman's friend in a bakery"

Nothing at 25 years, but I'm sure they'll have something in stock - you can go for a tasting in the London society before you buy..
