With this in mind, we’ve scoured the finest foodie outlets for limited-edition, personalised and utterly luxurious present ideas we promise you won’t need a gift receipt for.
Gifts for the bar
The Macallan Double Cask 15 Years Old
No cosy evening by the first is complete without a great dram – and, for the ultimate in crowd-pleasing single malts, The Macallan should always be your go to. Hailing form the Highlands, the secret to the gorgeously complex flavour of this 15 Years Old whisky is its double cask aging. Aged first in sherry-seasoned American oak, which imparts vanilla and lighter notes, it is then transferred to sherry-seasoned European oak which deepens the flavour to deliver a nose of dried fruit and butterscotch and a palate of cinnamon, nutmeg and raisin with a spicy finish. Delicious.
