The subject should give some hint that I am not really into scotch. I know very little about it but I've been learning. You see, my father loves scotch. And for Christmas I want to give him something really nice. I mean, really, REALLY nice.
After reading this and other newsgroups for the past month I now know some names but still have a vague idea on what is considered top-notch scotch.
The names I've researched around have been Aberlour, Oban, Macallan, Edradour, Glenmorangie, Laphroaig, Talisker, Glenlivet and Highland.
From what I've learned, Highland seems to be a popular favorite. And I read a posting that anything starting with "Glen" is a good start.
But I'm looking for REALLY good scotch. In fact, I'm willing to pay between $200-$400.
I've looked around the internet, saw some items and wanted to know if I'm heading in the right direction or if I'm wasting my time/money. I realize that there's probably better prices out there but I can find those later. Right now, it's all about the scotch. Some of the links below are an idea of where I'm headed.
Much appreciation!
