06 Nov, 2016 by Anindita Gupta

Scotch is one of those few possessions, that has a universal appeal. It is easy for scotch lovers to fall into a furrow once they find something that fits their taste. However, there are a number of scotch whiskeys out there that people need to know about. There is actually one for every taste.

Hence, #Lovescotch themed assorted scotch bottles as gifts can be an outstanding idea this Christmas or New Year.

‘Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve’ is well known for its silky softness. This is one liquor, which can be enjoyed with a mixer or on its own. It usually goes well with a dash of soda or apple juice. ‘Johnnie Walker Blue Label’ is perhaps the most premium blend that we have in the market. Made from the finest malt and grain whiskeys from Scotland, it has a rich, sweet and smoky flavour with a lasting peaty and earthy finish.

A single malt from the classic range, ‘Cragganmore 12-Year-Old’ tenders a rich and floral taste with barley notes. This Speyside classic represents a very satisfying intricacy with a number of flavours.

The ‘Lagavulin 16-Year-Old’ is deep, dry and has an immense peat smoke. It is not only thick and rich; it manages to hit you with the strong sherry flavour. The other flavours that it imparts are of iodine, spices and creamy vanilla. A must have for people who like a punch to their taste buds.

‘Oban 14-Year-Old’ represents Diageo's classic malt series with the sweetness of fruits such as lemon and pear with a salty and peaty smokiness. This masterpiece from the western highlands deserves to be owned by the master specialist. People who love intense coastal spicy and peaty smokiness, must try the ‘Talisker 10-Year-Old.’ It was a gold medal winner at the International Spirits Challenge 2014 for its perfectly intense flavours.

‘Glen Ord 12-Year-Old’ is indeed a rare find and ensues a value for money deal every time. It is a strong spicy malt, with sufficient sherry influence.

‘Buchanan’s Black and White Blended Scotch’ is well known for its fine quality. It has a clean and medium taste with a fresh grassy flavour, completed by enduring sweetness. It is one of those few gems that should certainly make it to the top of any ace collectors shelf!
