1982 Vintage Recommendations
 

Hello! My husband's 30th birthday is coming up and I would love to get him a vintage 1982 single malt. I have been doing a ton of research but am not sure which to get. Any recommendations?

Hi,

I assume you're looking for one distilled in 1982?

I have a bottle of 1982 Glenrothes that I'm quite fond of. Depending on where you live, there might be a store nearby that has, or can get, single cask bottlings, which usually note the distillation date on the label. I am thinking of stores such as Binny's in Chicago or The Party Source in the Cincinnati area. Companies to look for would include Gordon & MacPhail, Duncan Taylor, Signatory, and John McDougall -- all offer excellent "unofficial" bottlings that cover the full range of regions and styles - including your husband's preference, I'm sure. Good luck!
