Booze.
Raging Turtle:
I'm about to go buy two decent bottles of port as christmas gifts for my sisters.
I'm not sure where port ranks on the 'manly' scale. Well below scotch, but I can't stand scotch. I do like port though. And I prefer hard cider to most beers. Maybe I'll pick up some Woodchuck Dark and Dry while I'm at the store.
Cheddar:
This thread is great. I know nothing about scotch and need to pick up a decent bottle by Thursday. I need something that a connoisseur would like, maybe around $50. I am making a list of your suggestions, thank you!
Also, are older scotches generally considered better then newer? I am a scotch nooblet.
edit. Noob question added.
CmdrSlack:
I'd suggest making something of your own to give next year, but best I could find you is the gear for making liqueurs or wine or beer.
Given that, I think that Johnny Walker Blue Label is quite awesome, but it's also a shitload/bottle.

Port is awesome. I used to drink a lot of cider, but eventually gave it up- it gives me postively paralyzing hangovers.
Miasma:
I bought a hundred dollar(Canadian, around $75 US) bottle of Scotch once assuming it would taste better than the typical Glenfiddich I normally buy. I could not drink the stuff, I could actually taste the peat moss it mentioned in the description. I think Scotch might be one of those things where you have to graduate from one level to the next, the nuances and differences were lost on me. I gave it to a friend who has been drinking Scotch for decades and he loved it. I don't know about the U.S. but in some of the higher end bars around here you can order Scotch by brand, you might want to try a single shot of an expensive Scotch before buying a whole bottle.
But that was just my one experience, YMMV.
Cognac gives me a sharp headache.
