I wouldn't recommend buying American-made unless you are certain that's what she's into, personally I'd be a bit offended unless it was really good stuff, and you won't get that under 100.

I'd say go with what you like, but you don't seem all that experienced.

Single malt Scotch is usually a good direction. Ardbeg, Laphroig, Lagavulin are all pretty good IMO. Not sure what they would cost near you though.

I'm not a big whiskey drinker, hence asking for input. The last time I had whiskey it was some cheap ass Makers Mark

I figured ^^ Didn't mean to call you out on it, sorry if that seemed the case.

There's a lot of different kinds of whiskey so it's hard to advise without knowing her tastes, but I wish you good luck and I hope to hear how it went

Yamazaki 12 year - Japanese Whiskey



I just won a bottle of that this past weekend, during a golf tournament. Haven't had a chance to crack it open. Like it?

I'm not that sensitive

I might just go to the local store and pick up a few and give them a try first. Having only met her once, I'm not sure on her tastes yet, just that she likes whiskey

most people like the thought of drinking whiskey and don't have any discernible taste for the different types.

Good
Go for it, I haven't really been into whiskey more than 3~ years or so but I can really recommend it, some quite unique tastes to discover.


Thanks for the tip DE, I've been curious about Japanese whiskey. Will have to pick a bottle up sometime soon

What kind of homo starts drinking whiskey because a girl tells him to???? LOL we see who will wear the pants in this couple. Next thread I predict you'll be asking for suggestions on strap-ons for her.
