Celebrate World Whisky Day with a whisky tasting set

Celebrating World Whisky Day
This year, World Whisky Day falls on Saturday 15th May.
2021 marks the 10th anniversary of the event. Which means, there’s even more of an excuse to raise a dram and celebrate the ‘water of life’ with fellow whisky-lovers – from all across the globe.
So, why not treat yourself to one of our luxury whisky tasting sets?
Simply pick a set from our line-up, gather a group of six friends in your garden (socially distanced, of course!) and mark the special occasion with a whisky tasting evening. The only rules are to drink responsibly… and to share your celebrations by tagging us on Twitter and using #WorldWhiskyDay.
We have a fantastic selection of sets to choose from, with something to suit both whisky beginners and budding connoisseurs. And here we’ve rounded up our top three recommendations.
