Best whisky (or similar) for a cyclist?

[Dj 49]

Christmas is around the corner and I'm looking to buy a gift (probably a bottle of whisky) for a cycling friend of mine, which is also a bit of a thank-you too, and was wondering if anyone knows of any cycling themed or related whisky at all? i.e. any that is made by cyclists, or has a cycling history or imagery on the bottle etc.

Not 100% set on whisky yet, so any similar gift ideas welcome! Any help or suggestions would be grand!

iirc Glenmorangie once made a bike out of old cask staves.

There were a few ales and wines brought out when the tdef did yorkshire, also there are some mt ventoux wines with imagery stocked in Aldi.

Why not a bottle of Scotch and matching jersey?

For example:

Renovo also do a Glenmorangie bike:

You can get one for slightly under £6,000.

Loads to choose from .
Whisky + jersey would be a good gift.

Awesome, thanks for the links - I think I'm going to go with some whisky from Glenmorangie, what with the ties with Renovo.

If money were no object and all that I'd buy that bike in a heartbeat!

I can't help thinking that when the reviews go on about how it soaks up road vibration they might be talking about a dead ride without road feedback....cynic that I am!

One and the same iirc.

Probably most of the distilleries with visitor centres sell jerseys or shirts. I have a Tobermory one I was given as a gift. Well intentioned but I will never wear it.

Does your friend like whisky ? It's always best to check. If he does I'd buy him a bottle of one he likes .

Rather than go for the standard Glenmorangie, If you can find them both the 'Quinta Ruben' port finish or the 'Cellar 13' are rather nice.
