Limited edition whisky gifts and special bottles
While another bottle of a tried and tested dram is never a bad idea, sometimes you want to do something a little different for a special occasion. And that’s where limited edition or special expressions come in.
Distilleries often release limited edition or rare bottles, from collaborations with artists to new flavours or something from the archives.
Tips for choosing a limited edition or rare whisky bottle:
Consider flavour - there’s no point just buying a limited edition bottle for the sake of it. You still want them to enjoy it. Make sure you check for the flavour notes, and that they align with what you know your recipient enjoys
Look for their favourite distilleries - annual expressions like the Special Releases are a perfect chance to allow someone to experience their favourite brands and distilleries in a brand new way
Look for rarity and exclusivity - some bottles and distillery expressions truly embody the saying of 'once they're gone, they're gone for good.' These rare bottles being added to someone's collection therefore make for an unrivaled gift.

Tips for making a whisky gift more personal
First things first. It doesn’t matter what you spend, a heartfelt whisky gift is always a welcome gesture. That being said, there are creative ways you can maximise the joy from your whisky gift and make it feel extra personal and extra impactful.
Make it a journey of taste
If you’re sticking to a budget, you can choose to buy tasting sets of different whiskies and present it to a fellow dram lover or a hopeful convert as a discovery of the whisky regions of Scotland. Sample and miniature bottles are the perfect amount for an introduction to a range of whiskies and the variety of flavours waiting to be opened with each sip. Buy one from each of the main whisky regions - Speyside, the Highlands, Edinburgh and the Lowlands, and Islay. Perhaps write them cards explaining the characteristics of each region, and the differences they should look out for when experiencing their whisky. Need help with this? We’ve got helpful tips explaining the different types of whisky, a deep dive into Scotch whisky in all its glory, plus you can learn more about each region with the distillery guides.
Turn a gift into cocktail hour
One way of elevating the experience is thinking beyond the bottle. Pair any whisky bottle with all the essentials needed for whipping up some classic whisky cocktails. This way, it becomes more than just a drink, you open up a whole new world of flavour exploration and whisky knowledge. An extra bonus? They’ll always have a few signature drinks ready to impress any future guest. It amps up their bar cart and their hosting skills.
Make it a hamper (and keep it on theme)
The great thing about gifting whisky is the provenance is easy to track - and usually opens up plenty of related gifts that you can combine it with. For example, if you're buying a whisky from the Highlands, why not look for some Highlands cheeses or shortbread biscuits to include in your hamper? It's a small, relatively affordable way to elevate the experience for the both of you.
