Whisky for groomsmen toast...

[Burly Brute]

I am planning to toast my groomsmen prior to the wedding, as well as, give them flasks as gifts with a bit of the same whisky in it. I would like to know of any really nice, pure, unadulterated bottles of scotch whisky I could use...price range:

0-100$

Thanks all!

Macallan pleases many palates.

I too gave engraved flasks to my groomsmen, as well as my father, and the father of the bride. It is a great gift idea.

Unless you are 100% sure that all of your groomsmen like scotch, I would suggest leaving the flasks empty, and allowing each of them to fill-up with their desired spirit. Of course if there is a partial bottle of the whisky used in the toast, it would be appropriate (and surely appreciated) to offer it to them to fill-up for the rest of the wedding and reception.

As far as a good choice, have a look here: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...-scotch-52349/

Macallan 12 is around $55 a bottle.

I would think that the Dalwhinnie, a good standard highland malt, would be a great choice and it fits your price guidelines.

On another note, be careful with pewter flasks as they will impart a flavor to their contents if you leave the scotch in for more than a few days. For this reason I usually use Trader Joe's label single malts in my pewter flasks. So if you do pewter, tell your groomsmen to drink up!

Well I have two reasons for the one bottle: 1. I am going to use a Quaich for the toast beforehand. 2. I wanted us all to have our first tastes out of the flask to be of the same drink.

I think it will be cool, I love the suggestions guys! Thanks so much!

The Macallan is very fine, but my vote is for "Isle of Jura" So smooth it's downright deceitful...

Im definitly writing all this down!

If you prefer "flavor" over cost.....Drambuie. It's my FAVORITE drink!

Glenmorangie is great quality, generally easy on most non-scotch drinkers' palates, and a good value, and I think can actually be found in oversize bottles in some places, which will make filling multiple flasks easier. Depending on the size and number of flasks you purchase, you may only get a few of them filled with a single 750ml bottle. The typical flask is 6-8 oz, times 30ml per oz = 180-240 ml to fill each flask, times say 6 flasks (4 groomsmen, father and father-in-law) puts you easily into the two bottle range, and you have not even figured in the amount for the quaiche and toast.

Good luck and best wishes.
