The Flasky App can help with gift recommendations and bottle comparisons
By Mikael MossbergWe’ve all been there: we want to buy a nice gift for an important person in our lives, but we have no clue what to actually get. In a lot of instances we know that a nice bottle of wine, or one of their favorite spirits would be the perfect gift, but we just don’t know enough to make an educated decision. Luckily, if you’re buying a gift for a spirits lover in your life, the Flasky app is the perfect shopping companion for you.
Flasky, the new AI-powered spirits companion from Distiller, can answer any question under the sun about spirits. If you’re looking for insights on how something will taste before you buy it, comparisons between a couple bottles, gift recommendations or anything else, Flasky is the ultimate app for you.
Check out this real conversation with Flasky from someone looking to purchase their boss a bottle of something special:
User:
I’m trying to decide on a gift for my boss. She loves peaty Scotch whisky. Should I buy her Lagavulin 16 Year, Talisker 10 Year or something else? I don’t want to spend more than $90.
Flasky:
Given her preference for a peaty Scotch under $90, I would highly recommend the Laphroaig 10 Year. It’s a classic Islay single malt known for its intense and peaty flavor profile.

It has a strong peaty and smoky character that your boss is sure to love. How does this option sound for your gift? 🤔
User:
Is that even peatier than Lagavulin and Talisker?
Flasky:
Laphroaig 10 Year is renowned for its intense peat and smoke, often considered one of the peatiest and smokiest whiskies available. Here’s a comparison to help you decide:
Laphroaig 10 Year
Peat Level: Very high
Smoke Level: Very high
Flavor Notes: Medicinal, iodine, seaweed, tar
Lagavulin 16 Year
Peat Level: High
Smoke Level: High
Flavor Notes: Rich, peaty, smoky, with sherry sweetness
Talisker 10 Year
Peat Level: Medium-High
Smoke Level: Medium-High
Flavor Notes: Peppery, briny, smoky, with citrus hints
The main differences are that Laphroaig tends to be more medicinal with stronger iodine and tar notes, while Lagavulin has a richer and slightly sweeter profile. Talisker has a distinctive peppery and coastal influence.
💡 If your boss loves intense peat, Laphroaig 10 Year is an excellent choice. However, Lagavulin 16 Year offers a richer and more balanced peaty experience.
Would you like to stick with the peatiest option (Laphroaig 10 Year), or prefer something richer like Lagavulin 16 Year? 🤔
