What's a whiskey you'd recommend for an avid whisky drinker as a gift. I don't really drink alcohol so I don't know. I thought i'd spend like 50-100 bucks, but if that's not enough to get something a little special, I'd be willing to spend more

just give him 100 bucks, which he will enjoy much more.

here's something he actually did say:
"Jaded as I am, I can't help but flip seeing a girl and guy of twelve or thirteen, tops, ramming Martel bottles up each other's asses. These are not the Dutch equivalent of abused trailer-park kids, either. They look to be in excellent health and seem to be honestly enjoying this. Makes all the conventional arguments against this kind of thing seem really silly. They're kids. Kids like to play with their own and other people's privates. They're just being photographed at it. Now, people who get a voyeuristic charge out of watching them, like me, I guess, well, we've got some grip-on-reality problems."

It depends upon where you are. If you're in the USA, there is a very steep ROI on any bourbon more than $50USD.

So, if you're in the USA, I recommend a bottle of the stuff in my pic. Anywhere else, just get something with the highest proof (ABV) you can afford.

Knob Creek, never will go wrong.

If you have Buffalo Trace products, then any of their stuff over $25. Same with Wild Turkey.

I'm a Heaven Hill and Old Forester kind of guy.

gift giving is bretty gay outside of receiving sexual favors in return anyway, so... are you fucking his wife or did rape his daughter or something?

you literally cant go wrong with money, but trying to nail their 0.01% taste in liquor is easier said than done.

Redbreast or Greenspot if your friend likes Irish whiskey. Maybe Eagle Rare or Blantons if into bourbon. Not much of a scotch drinker though.
