Perfect for the colder months, the sophisticated Glenfiddich Bourbon Barrel Reserve is sophisticated and warming — having spent time in charred New American Oak barrels sourced from Louisville, Kentucky. Featuring notes of vanilla, brown sugar, as well as fresh pear and apple with a toasty finish — perfect for scotch and whiskey-lovers alike. 

For lovers of Canadian whiskey, Gibson’s Finest Venerable is a nuanced and elegant blend of 18-year-old whiskies, now offered in this limited-edition bottle. It is limited to Ontario and Quebec, so you’ll want to snag a bottle if you can find it. 

Grant’s Triple Wood 12 Blended Scotch Whisky is not only a great looking bottle to gift, but its sophistication carries through to its contents. Packed with warming notes of honey and spice, this spirit is perfect for the season. It’s aged in three barrels that layer nuance through every sip and finish: brown sugar sweetness comes from its Refill Bourbon barrels, while the American oak and sherry casks add in vanilla and a spicy finish, respectively. 

This 12-year old whiskey is another great, yet-affordable option for Canadian Whiskey lovers. Proving to be a smooth whiskey for those who want an aged whiskey that brings character and flavour. Gibson’s Finest Rare makes a great gift or a self-indulgent option for you to enjoy.
