Quality whiskey for non whiskey drinkers?

[Blair]

Hi,

I'm after some help finding a good quality whiskey to take to a wedding in a couple of weeks where the stag and a couple of friends aren't really whiskey drinkers. I'm partial to a whiskey when I've been out but I'm no expert so I'm really just looking for suggestions on a decent bottle, under £40, that will be an enjoyable drink for all of us.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Blair.

If you're looking for single malt scotch whisky and want to address the average palate without going for the peatier stuff, I would recommend Aberlour 12 years and Dalwhinnie 15 years which would both suit your projected budget of under 40 pounds a bottle. Bear in mind that the latter would be indulged either neat or with minimal water and without ice. I live in Canada but I checked your prices there. However, if it doesn't have to be single malt scotch then you have many more possibilities with scotch blends, Irish whisky, etc.

A few easy to drink malt whiskies for around £40 are:

Glenlivet 18 year old
Glenfiddich 15 year old
Aberfeldy 12 year old
Tomintoul 14 year old
Glen Garioch 12 year old

Thanks for your advice, it's very helpful.

It does need to be scottish - it's a wedding so there's no other option! haha

I considered the Dalwhinnie and Glenfiddich as I've had those before and enjoyed them. I was also considering Old Pulteney 12yo too.

I would say the Glenfiddich 15 would be a good choice very easy to drink quality whisky which anyone who likes whisky will enjoy.

Have just bought The Glenlivet 18 for Fathers Day, I would also suggest it for the wedding quests, it is available for about £33 from Asda & Waitrose at the moment and would appeal to most.

Yes, get in while the Fathers Day deals are still on - probably until Sunday - and you'll find some bargains!
