Recommendations please $100 bottle of whisky.

No bourbon is worth that much, though they may charge that much for it. You can get a nice single malt scotch for that much or a truly outstanding blend. 3/4 of all whiskey out there are over priced marketing specials.
Angels Envy is an excellent, smooth whiskey that doesn't have any characteristics that would make it unpleasant for a novice. I shed a tear when I finished my bottle. When you don't have a taste for anything in particular, it's what you really want. About $75 at the discount liquor store.

There are many choices depending on your palate. First a few questions come to.mind. Do you enjoy Peated Scotch or prefer more of the standard variety? Are you a fan of different barrels being used? Etc.
Peated Scotch like Laphroaig. Ardberg, Bowmore etc.
Standard Scotch like Macallan, Glenfiddich. Balvanie etc

I am being a bit crude in my classifications in an attempt to make this interview as brief as possible. There are a number of variations which in the past were particular to different regions in Scotland. Regional differences are not as pronounced as they once were, though some areas like Islay still produce predominantly Peated Scotch for one example.

PS Balvanie has a few double woods I enjoy like the Caribbean Cask. The 14 year old Single Malt sells for around ~65-80 depending on where you are and the store. You might find it for less on sale.

Note: There is a difference between whisky and whiskey.

I would take him to a good liquor store and let him choose. Don't forget some very excellent Irish whiskey and Japanese whisky can be had for that kind of price. 18 year old Jameson's is excellent, Yellow Spot would be nice too. Japanese Yamazaki or Hakushu can be found fairly easily and both have whisky in that price range or a little less. 

I've no idea, but good luck this weekend.

Good luck on that, anywhere. Limited release always and very small amounts go to each region. Excellent recommendation though. Wonderful Bourbon.

You missed one minor detail. I am not a whiskey drinker.

Whiskey, bourbon, scotch, and gasoline all taste similar to me. But for the sake of camaraderie, I will drink my share, whoever it is that makes the hole-in-one.

Just out of curiosity, stone....do hole-in-ones happen often with you three?

The way you're talking, it's like it's a done deal.

there's your problem right there... You'll never get a hole in one with bust balls.

I am a Scotch guy, with Johnnie Walker Black being my go-to. My recommendations typically stay in line with that brand. I personally don't think you can go wrong with a bottle of black, but if you want to step it up a bit, and inch a little closer to the $100 per bottle mark, their Green Label and their 18 year are spectacular. I believe Green can usually be had for about $75 a bottle, and the 18 year is right around the $100 mark, give or take.

Hunt you up some Kavalan from Taiwan.

You'll be glad you did.

Black is a rock solid scotch in my book.  Never fails to please me.  The best I ever had was Blue label last winter.  That may have been somewhat of a distorted vote as my friend brought it to a weekend golf getaway.  It didn't last past the first night. 

You guys are killing me..... Johnny Walker Black.
.😁 Ok it is a decent mass produced blend. However I would advise starting with something a bit more interesting.

The blends I typically enjoy are boutique types. These take unique barrels from different distilleries and produce less standard often better or should I say more interesting tasting blends than Johnny Walker.

Still, for me, the most satisfying Scotch Whiskys are the Single Malts. Yes they typically are made from a blend of barrels from the same distillery ( What is referred to as a "blended" Scotch or Scotch "blend" etc. is made from barrels that come from varying numbers of distilleries.). The youngest barrel used in a Single Malt is found in the age statement on the bottle. An "18 yrs old Single Malt" means the youngest whisky used is 18 years old. These changes makes for multiple nuisances of flavor between Single Malt Scotches as each distillery is unique (some more than others) and age simply adds qualities to those differences. There are also other treatments like using different barrels like whiskey and later sherry to import other flavors etc..


Since folks appear to be advising both whisky and whiskey purchases, I recommend getting both. A ten year old Macallan or Glenmorange (or there are others) would be a nice traditional Scotch whisky to start . Use the extra money to buy Buffalo Trace or Woodford Reserve (There are others as well) for a nice smooth Bourbon whiskey. You should be able explore both for less than 100 or mix and match to that point (I do not know the prices in your neck of the woods. I can easily buy any combination above for less than $100 in Kansas .Being aware that pricing differs elsewhere, I put together the package taking into account a fairly wide variation in pricing, where even in the worst case, hopefully, at least one combination can be made.😁).

Note: I drink a wide variety of Scotch and Bourbon. There are minor and major differences between brands and age. The classifications ratings go on and on as do folks opinions. If you wish I can come up with a bargain package, more liquor for 100, or advise any number of whiskys or whiskeys that will take you right up to 100. Let me know, I will try to help.
I drink for taste and have a number of bottles in varying stages of completion from over the years. Being unable to afford the higher priced Scotches, I live around the 100 dollars or less area. Lately the ones I have acquired were gifted. For financial reasons my purchasing practices have been limited.

I can get by pretty well on $30 a bottle Jameson's Caskmates stout barrel aged for Irish Whiskey, $40 a bottle Old Pulteney 12 yr old single malt and $25 a bottle Buffalo Trace for my Bourbon. Three for under $100 and all excellent.

High West Distillery Yipee Ki-Yay... just under $100 and worth thrice the price.
