I recently backed into a friends car and would like to give him a bottle of single malt whiskey by way of apology (he won't take cash).

There seems to be a few whisky aficionados here on OZB, and I was wondering if you would mind recommending your favourite drop?

I know nothing about whiskey, though my driving might suggest otherwise.

My budget is $100-$300, and while I don't want to skimp, I don't want to pay top dollar either. So if you know somewhere that has a good price…

Thanks for your help.

    For $105 at Dan Murphy (usually has the best prices)…I would give him Yamazaki 12 years old….japanese whiskeys are very popular now….he will be pleased to receive that as a gift…
    alternatives would be Lagavulin 16, also at $105…

    or get him one of each and he will be happy….

    Glenlivet 18yo is a great Scotch, much better than many more expensive ones.

    Any recommendations for one of the best Australian produced Single Malt Scotch that I can give as a present? I will be bringing it overseas.

    Can't make heads or tails in regards to ratings based on which barrel # it came out of. Sullivan's Cove seems to be good however a bit pricey for the rating. Bakery Hill seems to have well rated whiskeys that are more affordable.

      never really bothered with Aus whiskys since they are overpriced compared to what you can buy from overseas at similar prices…although I have heard Sullivans is decent if you can find one….the Bakery hill looks to be more expensive per ml since it comes in a 500 ml bottle, compared to sullivans 700…
