What whisky should i buy? Johnnie Walker Red or Ballantine's Finest?

I have to buy a bottle of whisky for my friend's party, he put me on a tight budget and i can't buy any of the better whiskys i enjoy (single malts). I narrowed it down to these two, hope i can make a decision by tomorrow. Thanks.|||Dig deep and show up with a good bottle of Crown Royal.|||Ewww, no. God no. Get a bottle of bourbon.
