If the person is casual bourbon drinker give the Tornado. It makes for a good story to go along with the gift. If a bourbon drinker give the Stagg.Quote:

I agree and think the story of the Tornado works well.

I either give something I know they will like or something hard to get, so both choices would work depending on the recipient.
Can I be your friend? Either one is a great gift!
Just to let you know, he is a bourbon drinker and I gave him a bottle of the 2011 Stagg.
I gifted the Tornado to my dad because it made for a good story. That coupled with his desire to drink lower proof bourbons made it the perfect gift.
100 is "lower proof" for your dad? Sounds like a good man.Quote:
