Whisky Forum - Recomendations under Â£200

Hi All,

First time poster here but was hoping you could provide me with a little advise.
I have only recently been getting into whiskeys and have been more floating around the Â£40-50 mark so my knowledge on higher end stuff is limited to none.

I am looking for a 60th present for my Dad. I have been getting him a few over the last couple of years around the Â£70-80 mark but due to the milestone birthday thought I would splash out a little bit and up the budget.

I have previously got him a range of Auchentoshan's and most recently a Glenfarclas 18 which he absolutely loved.

Any tips or advice on what would be a worthy purchase for this milestone birthday would me hugely appreciated!

Thank you!
Tom

Glenmorangie Signet has Â£18 off at master of malt today. Tastes great and looks the part as a gift

Slightly over your budget, Master of Malt has a excellent Mackillop's Choice Mortlach 23 year 0ld 1991 Single Cask 5887 for Â£208

Another slightly cheaper is the Glenfarclas 25 year old

How about Redbreast 21 year Irish whisky, the latest batches have had some really good reviews, Â£155 at the moment at Milroy`s of soho.

or Glendronach 21 year Parlaiment, much better than the 18 year Allardice and is roughly Â£110, if your father likes sherried whisky this is a nice one for the money.

A cheaper alternative would be Glenmorangie 18 year at around Â£80 ish?

You can still pick up a Balblair 1991 3rd release from TheWhiskyExchange for Â£160. Wont be around for much longer, quite sherry lead and a damn good whisky.

Thank you very much for all the replys!

Really appreciate the support,

I have decided to pick up one of the Glenmorangie Signets (thanks for the Â£18 off tip as well) and a Glenfarclas 25 which was also recomended just due to him loving the 18 so much

I will let you know next month if they have been a hit or not Smile

Thanks again!

You have made a good choice with the Signet, it is a favorite of mine and I have gotten few a few bottles.
