If your friend is an aficionado of Single Malt Scotches, you might consider the following:



Lagavulin 16 y/o Islay



The Dalmore Cigar Malt



The Balvenie Single Barrel



The Talisker



Highland Park 12 Y/O



The MacAllen 10 Y/O

Name your pleasure and enjoy!

You’re the first person on this thread to offer up examples of what I actually drink with the appellation “Scotch Whisky.”

I’d add Jura to your list, as well as Bomore.

All you folks offering up Dewars and Johnny Walker: Please, do yourself a favor and part with some cash to buy the real thing.

The Lag might be a bit risky as a gift. One is either for it or against it, there’s absolutely no middle ground.

Honestly, unless he specifically states he loves a smokey, peaty scotch, I would stay away from Lagavulin. It’s like drinking scotch from a full ashtray! If you want it, it’s “got it”, but it’s far too strong a flavor for many to enjoy. The other scotch’s you posted are all excellent. I’m a casual scotch drinker but have managed to accumulate some 20 bottles in my current collection. I don’t think I’d buy the Lagavulin again, it’s for hardcore scotch lovers, only - lol!
