Whisky / Whiskey / Bourbon

Can someone point me to some whiskey suitable for storing for 18 years (gift for a new born)?

How flush are you?
Buy a cask of the birthyear and then let them bottle it when they are of age

Hmmm definitely not that flush...

Ok yeah the Forester is great, would recommend!

I seem to remember it being fairly ubiquitous when I visited New York a few years back. Not bad from what I remember!
I impulse bought a bottle of Bulliet earlier, currently enjoying a couple of old fashioneds.

Love them both. The 12 is the one I always take up to have a nip with my Grandpa, so it has fond memories tied in. It's a lovely whisky.

Yeah I think in the US it's fairly standard but less common here. I was worried it might be a bit four roses which I don't rate but I'm surprised, it's really tasty.

I had a lot of nice, very cheap bourbons and ryes when I was there! Would love to go back at some point.

This was good.

Got this, no idea what to expect

Lovely present from my brother and sister in law. Have a few different Nikka bottles here but hadn't heard of this before

Just looked that up, and it seems they've gone upmarket - I remember buying Pikesville from Gerry's when it was the cheapest decent rye available...

I've got some of that, it's inoffensive, shockingly easy to drink.

Ran out of bourbon but got some Eagle Rare for Christmas. Bonza.

Yay! Received some Woodford along with Luxardo Maraschino cherries, bitters and Vermouth. Christmas Manhattans ahoy!

Mrs EB received a 35cl Glenmorangie from her boss, so cute! Merry Whiskymas all

Currently working our way through these two, 20% off too, so worked out at about £70. Slainte!

On the Bulleit Old Fashioneds again. I've decided it's Christmassy because it's got orange in it.

Edit: my pal who works in fancy cocktail bars in Vegas gave me the top tip of putting the peel of a few oranges in a load of brown sugar over night and using the sugar as an alternative to sugar syrup. Would recommend!

Got this from the outlaws

Filled my own crackers this year with mini whiskies. Not had this before, it's alright but the fumes on the nose are so strong.

Much prefer Simon's one

Jealous that you guys can get taster sizes of anything other than maybe half a dozen major brands.

Where are you?

Got some Bunnahabhain at Sainsbury’s, it’s been about 4 years since I had any. Compared to other Islay whiskeys it’s got a lovely warm, anise after taste. Just a lot less smoke.

We do have that ^ , probably my next bottle.
