Holiday Gift Guide: 16 bottles of Scotch to consider for the golfer in your life
Like most golfers, I love good whisky. It’s something of a recent fascination of mine, and it’s a good one, considering how well it goes with my other great passion: The game of golf.
Indeed, good whisky and good golf are intertwined in so many ways, and if you’re thinking about combining the two in the form of a holiday present for the golfer in your life (or maybe even yourself!), here are a few options for you to consider.

A bit pricey, but Johnnie Blue is a brilliant whisky that you can get engraved with a special message. And, as part of a new partnership with comedian Mindy Kaling, holiday shoppers can choose from eight engravings by Mindy to customize their next gifted bottle of Blue, including “SNOW MUCH FUN, YOU GUYS” and “DAMN, SOMEONE MADE THE NICE LIST.” You can read the complete collection at www.MindysBlueLabelHoliday.com.
