Celebrate World Whisky Day with a whisky tasting set

This year, World Whisky Day falls on Saturday 15^th May.

2021 marks the 10^th 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. 

Want to celebrate International Whisky Day in style? You can’t go wrong with our premium whisky tasting collection. This features five luxurious miniatures, including hard-to-find whiskies and limited edition single malts (aged over 21 years old), from some of the finest distilleries in Scotland.

These include:

• Auchentoshan (aged 21 years)
• Glasgow 1770 Original
• The Arran Malt (aged 18 years)
• Glen Scotia Double Cask
• The Ileach Cask Strength (Islay)

Taking you on a journey through the country, these highly-coveted spirits are from a range of whisky regions – and each one has its own unique and delicious flavour. What’s more, some are ‘single cask’, which means they’re of the highest possible quality and a special treat to mark the occasion.

Just sit back, relax, and experience the best whiskies that Scotland has to offer.

Welsh whisky is a fantastic alternative to Scotch. And if you haven’t tried it before, our Penderyn Whisky Gift Set is a brilliant introduction – and a great way to mark World Whisky Day.

The set contains five single malts from the award-winning distillery, Penderyn, including:

• Penderyn Legend 41%
• Penderyn Parkwood 46%
• Penderyn Celt 41%
• Penderyn Myth 41%
• Penderyn Madeira Finish 46%

These are all produced using a single copper-pot still. And as such, they boast a fresh, fruity and flavoursome taste. Penderyn whiskies are recognised worldwide as some of the finest single malts ever to be made. And they’re created right here, in the UK, at the foot of the Brecon Beacons. Invest in this beautiful introductory collection and say hello to the wonderful world of Welsh whisky!

It’s World Whisky Day. So, why not step outside of your comfort zone and try whiskies from a completely new part of the world? Mackmyra is a recent addition to our collection; a Swedish brand, renowned for its eco-friendly distillery and delectable range of fruity and smokey spirits.
