    My son is graduating and, since it is 2018 I want to gift him a bottle of whiskey that he can keep for many years and drink on special occasions.
    He is young but appreciates all kinds of whiskey though he recently told me his"favorite" was an English whiskey. (Surprised me.)
    Anyway, if you were going to spend too much on a bottle of whiskey that has been aged 18 years, please tell me what it is. And, if you don't mind, why?
    Thanks, Jake

    When you find a good one, let me know. I've been drinking Balvenie Double Wood 12 & 17 for years.
