Whisky Forum - Bottle for 40th birthday

So, my 40th is coming up next summer. I'm thinking I'd like to treat myself.

I believe I have it down to two

1) Balvenie 25 year single barrel

2) Balvenie 30 year old

Both are about the same price here. 1000.00 Cdn

Thoughts?

I would love to get the Balvenie 40 year for my 40th........but that's gonna cost my first and second born. So that's out of the question.

I know is not Balvenie but did you give Glenfarclas 40 a thought?

If it is Balvenie you are after, I can highly recommend the Balvenie 30.

Both Balvenie are very good.. I think I would actually pick the 25 just because it is a single barrel.. The Glenfarclas 40 is superb but getting more expensive every day.. If you pick any of the 3 mentioned you will not be dissapointed..

Thanks!

Glenfarclas 40 year is not available in Ontario at the LCBO

Oldest is the 25 year old
