Lagavulin

I've just seen this thread now.

I was lucky enough to get a Nick Offerman edition Lagavulin, but a friend sourced it in the UK for me as a gift. It's quite pricey, but perhaps you're aware.

If you do want to spend a similar amount of money then Martins off licence in Fairview has a Lagavulin cask strength 2019 special edition that is €155. That would be a little less than what the Offerman edition would set you back.

Drinkstore also has a 12 year old Cask Strength for €150 at the moment.

If you want to spend less then the 8, 10, 16 year olds would also fine, as would the Distiller's Edition or the Game of Thrones edition. Basically, any of them!

Since your boyfriend is a Parks and Recreation fan I probably would stick with Lagavulin rather than opting for a different Islay whisky, the gift might lose the same meaning.

Well, if he has had Lagavulin before then it's likely he's had the 16 year old, which is their classic offering and relatively easily acquired. It's still a smashing whisky and contributed to the widespread name recognition and popularity that Lagavulin enjoys.

If you want to get something he's less likely to have had then either of the cask strength offerings would tick that box, although they're quite expensive.

If you want to spend less then your options will be limited to whatever you can find that's in stock.

Castle Off Licence in Tralee (Nutsaboutwine.ie) has an 8 year old in stock for 90 euro, I think that's not a bad price (It's often priced higher than the 16).

As I said before, there are a lot of other good Islay whiskies that he might enjoy, but they don't have the connection to the TV show.
