My dear boy, your uncle will love you forever if you purchase him a bottle of "Isle Of Jura" 12 year old single malt. It's expressive; without being too 'earthy', in fact a really fine, unique scotch, which won't break the bank. It has a deep, deep colour - like a sunset seen in a different, warmer more temperate land, an initial taste of the fire of that sunset, which quickly, and mark me Sir, very quickly, gives way to an almost, but not quite, overwhelming taste that satisfies not only one's own soul.....
Ish really greash....

Set you back about £18 a bottle. Threshers do it - sorry mods if I've done a product placement there, but the boy's in need - and, it's unusual, little known and very, very good. You can't go wrong with 'ole Uncle. He'll rewrite the will in your favour.
edit: just seen you're already sussed. Good.
