Step 1
Make sure the person you are buying the single malt for will actually drink it. There is nothing more embarrassing than giving someone whiskey when he doesn’t drink alcohol.
-
Step 2
Don’t purchase the cheapest bottle of single malt scotch that you can find. There isn’t anything wrong with saving a few dollars, but make sure that the whiskey isn’t rotgut. Buy something that people will want to drink. The best way to know what type of single malt Scotch to purchase is to take a peak at what the host already has; purchasing the same brand is always a good idea. The other method is to ask the manager to recommend a decent single malt scotch that won't put your credit card on life support.

Step 3
Scan the bottle and make sure that there isn’t a price tag stuck to it somewhere.

Step 4
Wrap the bottle or put it in a gift bag. Presenting someone with just a bottle of adorned scotch makes it look like you ran to the party store at the last minute. Wrapping it implies that you put some thought into the gift.

Step 5
Accessorize your gift by putting in a nice basket that can double as a centerpiece or including a couple of nice shot glasses. Cheese and sausage also make nice additions to a gift of single malt Scotch.
