Which one of these two, the Glengoyne 21 or the Glenfarclas 25 would you prefer if you like Glenlivet 18, Glen Moray 16 and Auschentosen 12?

It's supposed to be a 60 year birthday present for my father-in-law and he really likes whisky, but has never been able to get himself any finer ones but those in the £40 range.

Any other suggestions are welcome aswell, but he does not like the smokey ones and within the range around £100

Both are different to the malts you mention. If given the choice between the Glengoyne 21 and Glenfarclas 25 it would be the Glengoyne, a superb whisky and far superior than the Glenfarclas 25 IMO.

The Auchentoshan 21 is also a superb whisky, priced just under £120 at Master of Malt

I agree, the Glengoyne would be my choice. Hope he enjoys whatever you get.

A little over your budget but I would suggest the anCnoc 24 year old you can find it here https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/knockdhu/ancnoc-24-year-old-whisky/

Other suggestions:
Glen Grant 18 year old

All of these are excellent whiskies that any whisky drinker would love to receive as a special gift.

Some great suggestions up there...

However. If you can push your budget even further - £150 - you could buy one of these. Which I think is quite remarkable value in the current market.

Not sure you'll find a 50yro anything for much less than that.
