I'm looking for a whiskey, has to be a single malt but good quality.

I'm looking to spend no more than £300.00
So I don't want a cheap one, It's not for me it's for a work mate, I've had a look on the www and the choice is crazy that's why I'm asking for help to find something good for him.

any help appreciated.

Isle of Jura 18 year old

about £70 a bottle, worth every penny:) a nice smoky flavor and very smooth, but difficult keep once open:D:D

well I think it has a nice smokey flavor!

but the experts seem to think a bit more:D:D

crikey!!

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Georgia]"The nose is fresh and floral. There are some creamy notes of vanilla and blossom with a touch of tropical fruit. There are some soft estery notes with plenty of cereal with a development of oak. The palate is of medium-body with notes of estery fruit and Madeira. Hints of vanilla fudge creep in with an uprising of damson jam and a dark nuttiness. The finish is of medium-length with cereal notes and grist, a little toffee jumps in before it is too late."


the whole Isle of Jura range are good Paul:)[/FONT][/COLOR]

Yeah I'd second that. I also like Isle of Jura 'Superstition' as a less expensive option. Talisker is very nice if you like a mild peaty flavour, to me it's quite unusual but seems pretty well spoken of (supposedly won the best whisky in the world award in 2007 :-)

[url=http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-9304.aspx]Lagavulin 1995 / 12 Year Old / First Fill Sherry Casks : Buy Online - The Whisky Exchange[/url] is lovely. It's not the safest bet though, but it's great.

Lagavulin 16 y/o is my favourite whisky hands down, it's always the whisky I go back to, but it's relatively cheap and a bit of a marmite whisky I guess for a gift.

I hear good things about the Elements of Islay whiskies, and I love their packaging. [url=http://www.islay.com/]ELEMENTS of ISLAY - Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky[/url]

You go and make some whisky that doesn't taste like screenwash poured through an anus with your 300 quid setup and I'd happily pay you for it :-p

Hm. Moonshine and curry. Might take a raincheck on that one, but thanks for making me want a curry! >:(
