re: What's a good brand whiskey to give as a gift to a whiskey snob?

quote:

---

For a single malt scotch get The Belvenie double barrel 12 year old

Double Barrel or Double Wood? I think it's the latter, but it's basically the same. The whisky is aged in two types of wood, in two different barrels -- and it's a really nice scotch.

Glenmorangie is also another nice scotch and they have several varieties, depending on what was in the barrel before the put their scotch in it. Glenmorangie won't break the bank either. The new varieties are good, but I go back to the classic when I'm wanting something that is not from Islay.
