Whisky is an excellent gift for anyone who enjoys this luxurious beverage. If you are not a whisky drinker, however, it can be quite tough to choose the perfect bottle. Fortunately, gift hamper vendors offer several options and it does not take long to figure out which one is best.
Different types of whisky are produced according to different time frames. In general, the finest whiskys take longer to produce and they yield the smoothest taste. The younger the bottle, the cheaper it will be. This is mainly because the older bottles take longer to produce and, therefore, it is more costly to the distillery.
A 10 year old bottle is a perfectly acceptable gift for many occasions and these bottles are known for their well-rounded flavour as well as being more affordable than older bottles. 12 and 18 year old bottles become smoother and more luxurious as the price also increases.
Another thing to remember is that the brand name will also play a role. There are plenty of unknown names out there as well as famous whiskys like Johnny Walker. Just like all things in life, these respected names often cost more due to their undeniable fame and the expected superior quality of their products.
Apart from choosing a bottle of whisky, you can even opt for a gift hamper that includes several smaller bottles of whisky – perfect for a whisky tasting party! There are also gifts that include a bottle of whisky along with carefully selected snacks. Each of which chosen to complement the whisky.
