This, or Elmer T. Lee. They are both affordable (how high do you want to go??) somewhat rare, and tasty to most palates…

The Springbanks are nice, but the Ardbeg Corryvreckan is so good.

And I like model airplanes... so....

SFO duty free by the F gates. They probably had 30-40 bottles. I don’t know why I only bought one.

Make him a handle on Airline Pilot Forums so he can keep up with all the “latest and greatest” from around the industry during retirement!

Alternatively find out if he is already on here, find his best post(s) and print them out and put in a nice frame.

I am guessing Jack Daniels is a safe bet? I don’t know I’m really not much of a whiskey drinker I wonder if there’s anything better or fancier than Jack Daniels…

Wow you're cheap lol

Here are some of my favorite brown liquids.

Suntory Hibiki- 100ish

Eagle Rare- 50-75ish

Journeyman Distillery Corsets, Whips, and Whiskey- 50ish but hard to find.

Nikka 21- MP, good luck with your search.

Yamazaki 12- 200ish, great if you’re looking for something high end but you don’t want to take out a second mortgage.

Plenty of good scotches out there too but I’ll leave that to the experts. It was never really my thing.

What if the guy likes Jack???? Get him what ever the f he likes to drink.........even if its Boones Farm.....he will appreciate it most!

PS Eagle Rare......mmmmmmmm!

Is a metal airplane model of the plane he retired on too cheesy?

maybe a nice bottle of wine?

or just a happy retirement card?

I bought a retiring Captain a star through starregistry.com (or something like that)
I suppose that could be viewed as cheesy but it went over quite well.
i did have the certificate framed as well!
