    I made jokes about buying a very expensive bottle of scotch (something like Johnny Walker gold label, or even platinum) when Trump dies… but maybe I don’t.

          Not the person you were in a conversation with, but all Johnny Walker is blended scotch. I would suggest a single malt instead (the entire bottle is from a single distillation).

          I’m partial to peat heavy scotches, and my go to are Lagavulin and Laphroaig, both should be under $100 (been a few years since I’ve indulged). If you want a more middle of the road honeyed and heathered flavor, go for MacCallan 12 or Glenmorangie, both should be under $60. If you want something with salty seaside flavor to it, opt for a speyside like Glenfiddich or a west highland like Oban.

          It’s not that jw is a bad whisky, but for what people pay for a bottle of blue, you can get two fantastic bottles of an actual single malt.
