But if you are having a hard time picking the best, take a look at our list of whisky gifts here https://thewhiskyclub.com.au/gifting which you can order online this 2021:
Aberlour A’bunadh Alba
Crafted by master distiller Graeme Cruickshank and Aberlour, the Aberlour A’bunadh Alba is a light gold whisky that features the unique taste of apples and chocolate with a tinge of vanilla. This whisky used to be available exclusively in the U.S., but you can now order it online in Australia—thanks to The Whisky Club! Matured in American oak casks for at least a dozen years, this liquor tastes a bit spicy and sweet with the infusion of orchard fruit flavors. One thing you will love about the Aberlour A’bunadh Alba is how the influence of sherry does not bite, so the taste of vanilla and fruits really shines through.
The Glenlivet Captain’s Reserve
Another great tasting whisky, the Glenlivet Captain’s Reserve boasts of its amazingly smooth texture, sugary aroma, and luscious flavors. It was aged in ex-Cognac casks to achieve the intense taste of mandarins combined with raisins and pears. If you are giving a bottle of the Captain’s Reserve to a loved one, your giftee will surely love how this expression features that rich apricot jam flavor with the subtlety of cinnamon and spicy licorice.
Dailuaine Flora Fauna 16-Year-Old Single Malt Whisky
Perfectly matched with sausage and cheese, this whisky is one of the most loved scotches in the world. Featuring the taste of forest fruits, nuts, chocolate, and berries, the Dailuaine Flora Fauna 16 also has a hint of honeycomb, brown toast, and toffee and is so soothing in the mouth. Its deep gold color and metallic finish will make you think you are drinking caramel, but the flavor of coffee beans and slight bitterness will make you think twice. This heavy and incredibly sophisticated-tasting whisky is definitely worth every buck!
Tobermory 12 Years Old
This 2-year-old whisky is one of those single malt whiskies matured in American oak casks for at least 12 years before being bottled. The Tobermory 12 is characterized by its citrus and honey flavors with a hint of salty caramel and vanilla, but you will love how it also has that refined salty taste to balance the lingering sweetness. Its finish is a flash of toffee and dates with a bit of cinnamon, barley, and Greek yogurt and it’s uniquely oily in the mouth. However you want your whisky, the perfectly combined sweetness and saltiness of the Tobermory 12 is sure to satisfy your palate.
Limeburners Pedro Ximenez Sherry Cask Single Malt
If you want a whisky gift that is classy and tasty, this one is the way to go. One of the best-known releases of Limeburners, the Pedro Ximenez Sherry Cask Single Malt features a deep gold color and is especially crafted using old scotch distilling techniques. Compared to other whiskies, this one has a rich flavor of raisins, coffee, and dark chocolate, and feels oily in the mouth. You and your loved one can share a bottle of this whisky during one of your boozy nights, when you just want to put your feet up while enjoying this expression with a plate of sushi on the side.
Hellyers Road Aged 16 Years Pinot Noir Cask Finish
Perfectly paired with creamy bacon carbonara, this whisky is an explosion of rich mandarin, apple, and mahogany flavors. The Hellyers Road Aged 16 Years Pinot Noir Cask Finish offers that Turkish Delight aroma and fills your palate with that mouthwatering goodness of choc orange, pork chops, and apple sauce. This whisky is sweet and savory rolled into one and features a ginger aftertaste in every gulp. You will also love how the cask used to age it influences its roasted nutmeg flavor, making it one of the most popular expressions among whisky lovers today. In Australia, the Hellyers Road Aged 16 Pinot Noir Cask Finish is now exclusive to The Whisky Club and will definitely give you a night of drinking pleasure.
