Had a coworker save my ass the other day. I asked him later what kind of libation he enjoys and I got out of him that he likes Johnny Walker. Now, there is definite income disparity between us where I make a lot more. Part of me thinks a great scotch would be good as a thank you. The obvious answer would be JW Blue but I know there are tastier options.
So would you gift him the JWB or a Balvenie 17 Doublewood because it’s so smooth and perfect? Both in the same price range but I don’t want to be paternalistic in my appreciatory gift.

Under normal circumstances I'm a Bulleit guy.
On related note it looks like Bulleit's founder is in some hot water.

Under optimal conditions I'm a big fan of Whistle Pig. So smooth it gives smooth a new meaning.

Bulleit was great when it was 4 Roses distillate. Not so much a fan since they started doing their own thing, especially since they're trying to ride that SW hype train. Literally zero correlation between the two... but that's marketing.
Whistle Pig is good, but obscenely expensive, and has some pretty shady marketing tactics as well.

Thanks. After thinking about it I still went with the Blue. Which was $40 cheaper at Costco v BevMo.
The gift isn’t about me, or to teach him about what’s what, it’s to show my appreciation.

JW blue is one of the few drinks that my girlfriend will drink like water. So I make sure to keep at least a 5th on hand at all times. :teeth
Overpriced but nice to have sometimes.

TBH, I prefer red or green over blue. Am I a Philistine?

Oooh, JW Green is such a treat!
The Double Black is a favorite here at Casa Villa.
But, free Scotch is ALWAYS the best kind, regardless of which Power Ranger it is.
