Wine Gifts

If you’re choosing a whisky gift for a loved one, it’s important to understand their preferences, so you can choose the right whisky for them.  

• Understand their profile – what is your recipient’s specific flavour profile? Do they prefer peaty and smooth, spicy and bold, or sweet and smooth? Do they gravitate more towards Bourbon or Scotch?  
• Consider your budget – whiskies are available in a range of prices. Once you know your budget, you’ll be able to find the best quality gift within that range.  
• Match the occasion – if you are choosing the gift for a milestone celebration, consider a limited release or premium aged whisky to elevate the sense of occasion.

We have a range of unique whisky gifts that are great gifts for both budding whisky enthusiasts and seasoned spirit connoisseurs. Here are just a few:  

Whiskey Tour of the World Gift Set – includes 24 miniature bottles of whiskies from some of the world’s most awarded distilleries, packaged in a beautiful handmade, hand-engraved bookcase. A great choice for those looking to enjoy whiskies from around the world.
