Puddy Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) Going to my bosses in a little while. The last two times I took wine. Wanted to get something a little different so I picked up a bottle of Glenfiddich "Distillery Edition" scotch. I know that there are a few scotch drinkers on the site. This is 102 proof which seems high. I bought it because of the name and the packaging. Is it a dumb gift if you aren't sure if the people drink scotch? Or since they have a nice bar does that even matter? Edited December 19, 2009 by Puddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I went to a party where we did the anonymous gift exchange thing. I got a chia pet. I wouldn't worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 If it's a really good bottle of scotch, most definitely. I get one of those wine gift baskets for some people for X-Mas everytime and so far, nobody complained about it. I'm sure your boss will appreciate it.

Furd Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) I'm not sure what you mean when you say "for a christmas party." Do you mean something to open up at the party? What you bought is "cask strength" scotch. It is more intense than "regular" scotch. It has a higher alcohol content. Its not chill filtered, so it may be a bit cloudy. You are also going to want to add a little water to it. Given the above, I would not give cask strength scotch to a novice scotch drinker. I wouldn't bring one to a party either if the intent was for the bottle to be opened at a party, particularly if the host was a novice scotch drinker. The host will likely destroy the scotch by using mixers with it or similar and you'll look like a tool if you try to counsel him on how to drink it. Plus your casual drinker may not appreciate the intensity of a cask stregth scotch, particularly if he/she doesn't understand the desirability of adding water to it. If I was going to bring a bottle of scotch with me to a party for the host to open up, it would be a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label. If your boss is a scotch drinker, and you're giving it to him for him to enjoy at his leisure, I think that its a fine gift.

Just gave the gift to be enjoyed at a different time (along with the 30 bottles of wine folks brought).
