What decent drink as a dad's present?

[soxboy]

I am getting married in December and as part of the presents for the folks I thought I'd get my dad a decent bottle of something.

I had considered a bottle of port and, in a change to previous purchasing policy, I thought I'd go for quality over quantity.

Can anyone suggest perhaps a good bottle of port to get him? Budget around £40.

My other thought was a bottle of scotch but I don't really know which ones he likes best.

My favourite port is only about £15 - Warre Otima Tawny Port. It's fking lovely.

Sshh, don't tell everybody

Oh, BTW, you are paying too much for it. Waitrose have it for £11.99.

Hmmm I shall make some subtle enquiries. Many thanks.

I thought it was rather nice no TCP taste.

I love Lagavulinn but if you know he likes an Islay dram then accept no substitute:
