Let’s keep the chit-chat to a minimum here. You don’t have time to read a long intro paragraph anyway. Time is ticking to find that perfect holiday gift. Luckily, we’re here to help.
This list includes stuff that is relatively accessible in most locations. I’m not including super limited bottlings *cough*BTAC*cough* because they won’t be on shelves anyway. In addition to some quick notes about peated scotch and bourbon, I’ve also added some stuff that I think should be avoided because it’s overpriced.
Your prices may vary. ALWAYS shop around for deals!
