I received a £75 Amazon voucher for Xmas. Gonna put £25 in myself to make it a round £100. What would you buy? One bottle, one hundred pounds.

Being so impressed with my first bottle of Bushmills 10 & the reduction on this bottle, I’d definitely give this a go.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bushmills-Year-Single-Malt-Whiskey/dp/B0027M6NIC/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1545907567&sr=8-4&keywords=Bushmills

Keep a little bit back for my next bottle too.

I know you said 1 bottle, but I’d be very tempted with 2 Lagavulin 16 too!

Great question & fantastic predicament!

Budget is a little bit short of Balblair 1991, but I'd consider that for sure. Glenfarclas 25, as above, also a great suggestion. Glengoyne 21 too.

I really enjoyed tasting the Kilkerran 8yr Cask Strength 2nd Edition. About £60

If you are a Highland Park fan the HP 18 is still on offer for £88 in Amazon

Thanks for the suggestion but i would prefer it to be a bottle of scotch whisky. I'm a snob like that 😂

Sadly the price has now risen above the 100 pound threshold

Have a look at this Millstone 12yr sherry cask

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DUIXGUA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Opened a bottle this week and is a really nice drop if you like a sherry cask whisky, also on sale for £56 as well! Everywhere else charging £90-100. Leaves you a nice amount to pick up another decent bottle.

Change the seller to Amazon. Still £99

Thanks. Didn't know you could do that. Looks like a winner.
