Special Occasion Whiskey

As I progress in age quality is starting to be more prevalent than quantity. That's not saying we don't get a little crazy, especially now that I'm divorced"thumbsup" but I'd like to purchase a "good" bottle of whiskey for special occasions. Something me and my close friends and family can open, take a shot, log it and move on the crown or pendelton.

Here in Utah good whiskey is hard to find in bars so I won't be able to taste it first so I figured I'd ask here and see if any of you had suggestions. I'm leaning towards a Highland Park, Chivas Regal or Lagavulin.


Any other connoisseur?
 
Believe or not but Even Williams makes a nice single barrel. I rarely see it in stores, though.
 
My father in law is a big whiskey guy. He gave me some Bushmills that was pretty tasty. I don't know if it's expensive or fancy, but it was good.
 
Keep the list coming guys, I found a couple local bars that have 50+ whiskeys available. I'm thinking the next time the ex takes the kids I'm going to go give ALL of these a whirl if they're available!

Can be, its an Irish Whiskey like Jameson, and like Jameson they have bottles in various ages and of course priced based on that.

I had to have my local liquor store special order the 23 year old single barrel. Really liked it and I'm not a huge Kentucky bourbon fan. Big oak overtones from start to finish.

By far my favorite liquor to enjoy. The 15 year old is better, but the 12 year old is really good too. I've only had the 18 year old once and it was ok, but not the greatest. I really expected more from it.

I called and asked him what he gave me. It was Bushmills 16 year. It was in his "special" cabinet, so I assume it's a good whiskey. He did say he had the 21 year as well but didn't care for it.

Glenlivet is damn fine whiskey. If you're going to spend good money on whiskey, look for a single-malt or single-barrel whiskey. Blended whiskey ain't whiskey.

If you develop a taste for Scotch, there's a lot of good ones. MacAllan, Glenlivet, Balvenie, Ardbeg, and Isle of Jura if you can find it. I had to go to Scotland for my last bottle :ror:

Johnnie Walker

Don't bother. Johnnie is all blended, with lots of marketing.

Defiinitely get a taste before you buy a bottle.

100% agree with everything above. Single-malt and single-barrel all the way. Blended scotch is so wrong on so many levels, but the weird part is how all of the Scottish distilleries share certain amounts of their single-malt with the other distilleries so they can produce the blends.
 
Talisker , any age you can find , can´t go wrong , even the 10 years is a very good single malt
I really don´t know why , but even having a huge selection of scotts here in my house , I'm allways drinking Jack Daniels , and it costs like US$40,00 here in Brazil , but there's something about it that no other wikey have, if I lived in USA would probably be drunk every day :mrgreen:
