Fun Question: Can anyone recommend a great Whiskey or Bourbon for under $100?

The guy I’ve been seeing for about 6 months is a whiskey/bourbon lover and I’d like to give him a nice bottle for Valentine’s Day.

My budget is $100 but I’m willing to stretch to about $120 if it’s something particularly good or somewhat unusual. I live in NYC so I have plenty of liquor stores to look in but would also considering ordering something online.

Any fun suggestions?

Well, how much do you want to give him?

Are you saying he likes bourbon? Or, other whiskeys also?

I like Pinch brand Scotch. I think it has a nice gift looking bottle and tastes good. It’s not at the top of your price range though.

I should say I’m not a connoisseur.

Good question! I’m more concerned with quality than quantity. :)

He’s a slow-sipper so I want to give him something small batch/single barrel that he can enjoy on the rocks on a cold winter’s night.

You do realize it isn’t whiskey or bourbon. Bourbon is a whiskey.

Fair point. I’m definitely not a connoisseur. That’s why I’m asking.

So, does he only like bourbon? Or, other whiskeys too?

He likes whiskys in general. He’s on a Craigellachie and Four Roses Single Barrel kick at the moment, I think.

Give him a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label and a blowjob.

Go look at the single-malt Scotch in the grocery store and buy him a bottle of Lagavulin. He’ll never have heard of it and he’ll think you ARE a conoisseuse (feminine version of conoisseur).
Or you could probably spring for a delicious Dalwhinnie and have a chance to make fun of the name together. Enjoy! You’re nice to do this for this guy.
