Christmas Gift Guide
Posted by Spirits Kiosk on 1 Dec 2021
Time to raise a cup of cheer and nod to Christmases past,
Reminisce with friends and make new memories that last.
It's time to savour the fragrance in the air,
Hearty roasts, mulled wine and spice everywhere.
The mantelpiece’s adorned with stockings in a row,
The big man’s on his way, make sure you pick out what arrives in tow…
With a touch of smoke from the peated malted barley and the higher sherry influence, Bunnahabhain Toiteach A Dha Whisky offers the connoisseur an opportunity to try something truly unique. That might be the whisky sorted, but you’ve got to figure out how to pronounce it…
Pioneering the sustainability movement within Scotch, Nc'Nean isn’t just a tasty dram - it's an environmentally conscious one too. Smooth and elegant, Nc'Nean Organic Single Malt is so easy to sip on with easy-going flavours of citrus, peach, apricot and spice.
Seven Tails XO is an innovative blend of Cognac, Armagnac and French Brandy and for as much as it doesn’t conform to any individual category, it brings the best of each into the blend. Unbelievable depth with toasted pecan nuts and cinnamon giving way to fruity blackberry notes.
Made in Edinburgh, Lind and Lime Gin resonates with flavours of pink pepper, juniper and lime. Its fantastic taste aside, this is one of those bottles that brings a little gasp when you hold it. So tactile and beautiful - a perfect gift.
A brilliant liqueur made with a combination of Irish Whiskey, caramel and vanilla. Aromas of toffee, buttered toast and cream waft up, while the whiskey, sweet spice and vanilla push through strongly to taste. Great for those looking to make an Irish Coffee (or two)!
As a distillery, Patrón have managed to stay true to their time-honoured techniques, recreating dozens of batches rather than supersizing production or using diffusers. The attention to detail shows – the Reposado and the Añejo make for easy drinking Tequila that pleases all.
Algebra is an extra dry coffee liqueur made solely from coffee, rum and cane sugar. If you’re making Espresso Martinis or a twist on a Negroni but want to ease off the sugar – this has half the usual amount, yet with intense, freshly prepared espresso aromas, it doesn’t compromise on the flavour.
Great rum is always a welcome gift. Equiano is just that. Truly great and we love it. Tropical warmth alongside rich notes of dried fruits and a touch of butterscotch and caramel – it’s one to serve over ice or in an Old Fashioned. Just don’t expect it to hang around...
