During the festive season, Scotland’s iconic spirit takes centre stage.
Think gathering around a cosy fire for a warming Christmas dram. Choosing special single malts and new cocktail recipes to pair with festive party fare. And Cranachan- need we say more? For many of us, Hogmanay isn’t complete without the customary toast to the New Year at midnight, and a dram for the first footer to ensure good fortune upon the household for the year ahead.
Whisky: The spirit of the holidays
“Uisge Beatha” is always a favourite accompaniment for Christmas and Hogmanay celebrations, so it’s a good excuse to stock up for the festive season. And of course, a bottle of fine whisky is a traditional Christmas gift that always delights. You can make it even more special by including a voucher for an immersive distillery tour experience, where they can explore the artistry of whisky making first hand and enjoy tastings of rare and unique expressions. Is whisky not your tipple? Scotland is also famous for its gins and rums!
Cranberry botanical gin fizz or hot buttered Hebridean rum, anyone?
