Single Malt Whisky - 25 Year Old

[DaveB]

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

I quite fancied that one...but you have to me a member to buy. Dag nammit!

Could buy it for you and change the shipping address?

[NotAllThere]

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

[Netraider]

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

Only 1 bottel left!

Oh, you could go through a whole bottle with a friend or two, just arguing about how to handle it .... I had friends in Portree who used to open a bottle and throw the cork on the peat fire, just so that everybody was clear about what was happening.

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

Should of mentioned they are all cask strength, some people canny handle that.....

Thanks LG. I'd been looking at that site...but there are dozens to choose from. You got any favourites?

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.

I cant think of a better hobby in retirement.

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..

Anyone got any recommendations? My dad is starting retirement next week and I'd like to get him a bottle...he worked with his last company for 25 years, hence the relevance.

Budget upto £90ish.

TIA
