Seasonal whisky recommendations

I was asked by a friend to recommend a whisky to buy for his father’s birthday. I came up with a few suggestions, and thought that actually, since I get asked this quite frequently, I might as well blog it as well, since we’re now on the lead-up to Christmas…

I thought I’d leave aside the regular favourites (Talisker 10, Laphroaig 10 and quarter cask, Bowmore Legend, Lagavulin 16…) and come up with a few specialties. But of course, it all depends on your budget and the recipient’s tastes. From about £35 up, you can get some really incredible special occasion whisky.

I’ve linked to Royal Mile Whiskies – a good place to buy online, but you can find all of this stuff elsewhere, and it may be cheaper if you hunt around.
