Good choice! I have one of each of the four expressions that make their Legacy Series, although Iāve never opened any of them as it was just a cheap way to say I have a limited edition Whisky collection. However, I think itās really only the first expression that was genuinely in limited supply as you can still buy the other three.
Just logged in and seen all these replies - thank you so much. Who knew there were so many Whisky experts! Iāll check them all out. I donāt think anyone has said the same one twice, so that makes it all the more difficult. From memory, the recipient doesnāt mind it a little peaty, but I think he prefers one thatās more balancedā¦
After reading up on Torabhaig I have decided to do the same! Just bought one of each of the four legacy series bottles (the first was indeed significantly more expensive than the other threeā¦ ) This has taken all of my birthday money, so once I have a bit more spare cash Iāll buy a second bottle of the Cnoc Na MĆ²ine to open and enjoy.
If you need to narrow it down, look at things like number of years youāve known them, their age, or locations they love or youāve been. Or if there are other spirits (eg gin) they like - and then see if thereās any linked distilleries etc too.
Or pick something local to you, or novelty based too with how itās been made.
Honestly, Iām sure unless you go for something particulary Peaty (Laphroaig/Islay) or Sweet (Speyside) I think itāll be fine. There are a load out there. My family know I like Whisky and donāt all know the type, so if I end up with a bottle of Jura, itās nice enough for me.
Its the thought that counts.
Bottles 2,3, and 4 of the Torabhaig legacy series are being delivered today (bottle 1 will take longer as it is coming from Germany) - I will find it very difficult not opening them to try, but that would defeat the whole purpose of buying the full setā¦
I need to find someone else who has them so I can at least say Iāve tasted each! (Maybe a distillery tour?)
In case anyone interested, I did look through all these recommendations, thank you. In the end, I still didnāt really know what to go for (what a minefieldā¦), so went with one of the first recommendations, from @l33t and got the Highland Park 18. The recipient was very pleased.
It is pretty epic tbh.
Dalmore 12 is fantastic, dont sleep on that.
And Hibiki is nectar. Donāt miss that either.
