Little Miss Happy Jul 2023 6:49am, 23 Jul 2023 6,581 posts	0 Little Miss Happy Thanks all. As it's for part of his retirement gift I was looking for something a bit more 'special' than the Glenmorangie/Glenfiddich (which he did mention when we were talking generally about favoured tipples) so some great suggestions.
Hertford Tiger Jul 2023 7:48am, 23 Jul 2023 955 posts	0 Hertford Tiger Old Pulteney is my favourite malt. Described as dry smooth redolent of honey and cream. Although mrs HT says it tastes of whiskey
Angus Clydesdale Jul 2023 11:57am, 24 Jul 2023 26,572 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale Personal opinion: if it's to be a special gift then a 15-year old whisky is usually markedly better than a 12. Also usually, the older the better, but it can get expensive... As others have already said, Speyside/East Highlands are probably the right type of taste for him.

Curly45 Jul 2023 3:02pm, 24 Jul 2023 4,488 posts	0 Curly45 People are quite particular about single malts, but I always liked Royal Salute and top level Chivas. Irish wise Redbreast is good and starts at 12 years I think. The Whisky Exchange is a good bet for narrowing down choices by flavour. You can buy most things on Amazon at decent prices. [not a huge whisky drinker but worked in the booze industry for a while so got to try quite a few different things, I also don't like strong peaty flavours.]

I know very little about whiskey or whisky. A guy I work with is retiring and appreciates a nice single malt 'sweet rather than peaty' - what would you suggest would be suitable as part of his leaving gift?

Thanks.
