Scotch or Bourbon?

[Karl Henning]

Others will have more to add, but I much enjoy The MacAllan 10-year, and Glenmorangie La Santa.

[Sergeant Rock]

All I know is that he likes Johnnie Walker (Red Label I think) for "basic" apéritif and Chivas Regal either 12 or 18 years for more special occasions.

Karl and I are on the same page. Your father might enjoy The Macallan (the "Rolls Royce of Single Malts"). Like Chivas, it's a Speyside whisky. The 12yo is 70 pounds from Amazon.

I like Lagavulin 16.

Avoid anything Islay, such as Laphroaig, unless you know he likes that style.

[Papy Oli]

duly noted, thank you gents !

Elgarian would undoubtedly suggest http://www.aberlour.com/range/aberlour-abunadh/

And he would undoubtedly right.

Oh, he would, indeed!

After reading and searching a bit over the last few days, I decided to go for a bottle of Aberlour-A'bunadh (batch 48) for now.

on the colour alone, I might even try a sip of that at Christmas myself 


There's still a month to go though, plenty of time to throw in a Macallan as well ...  0:)

Ralfy on Youtube warns that A'bunadh isn't quite as special as it used to be.

As long as my old man likes it in 30 days' time, it's all good 


I should give him the link to those videos for him to practice his "English"

Interesting review....and it may explain why I didn't have an Elgarian-type whisky epiphany with the bottle I purchased (batch 45).

I filter it after drinking.

BTW, that was a joke.  I'm not into Scotch or bourbon, although I do enjoy an occasional shot of Jack.  That's ONE shot!

Just bought two bottles of Ardbeg Uigeadail and one bottle og Bruicladdich Port Charlotte Heavily Peated. I'm set for Christmas.

Norwegians only drink during daylight?

[The new erato]

Yep, the limited light saved me some money.
