Six rare single malts. A blind tasting format. A wax-sealed reveal. Add a personalised birthday message at checkout — most of our customers do. This isn't a bottle — it's an experience. The birthday whisky gift for people who already have everything.
Most birthday whisky gifts are a bottle, difficult to choose, easy to forget. Our tasting sets offer something different whilst showcasing the diversity across the very best of single malt. Six numbered bottles arrive blind, so the recipient has to nose, taste and guess before the wax-sealed envelope reveals what they've been drinking. Featuring rare aged expressions like the Ledaig 18 Year (a bottle that retails for £100+) and the Bunnahabhain 22 Year PX Finish (£350+ a bottle), these are birthday whisky gifts that even serious connoisseurs haven't tried in tasting format before.
Match the set to the person — whether they're just getting started or deep into single malts.

The Six Styles of Scotch set is our most popular birthday whisky gift for someone who's new to single malt. It takes them through six distinct styles — from light and floral to bold and smoky — so they can discover what they love before investing in full bottles.
