If he's a single malt drinker, he has probably done his own sampling. The trick is to find out what his taste in malts is. There are such great differences between regions and individual distilleries' products that if you buy blind, you could end up giving even a dedicated malt drinker something he loathes. So call his spouse or ask his colleagues or engage him in conversation and find out what he normally drinks -- both in terms of region (Highland, Lowland, Speyside, Islay) and the names (and ages, if available) of one or two individual malts. Given that information, you'll find superb advice here as to a premium bottle in your price range to warm the cockles of his professorial heart. If you provide the name of your city or area, chances are good someone will even suggest the most likely stores in which to find the recommended choices. cheers. bill |

>>>> Hello. I'm looking into buying a bottle of single malt whiskey for my
professor before leaving grad school. I would get a bottle of Aberlour A'Bunadh. If it turns out your professor is a cognac drinker, then your professor will still love the A'Bunadh. And in any case, the A'Bunadh is as impressive LOOKING as it is in top quality and sheer silky pleasure to taste. Plus, you can get it under $50 some places. You can't go wrong with it. |
