Surprisingly affordable for a 12-year-old scotch, Aberlour has aged this in both traditional oak and sherry casks. It pours a deep amber and has a rich oaky flavour, but the sherry casks provide a fruity - we get a lot of plum and dark, stoned fruit notes - and a spicy element. It’s like Christmas cake distilled into a whisky, making it great for winter warmers and toddies by the fireplace come the winter months.
We have a soft spot for The Singleton - it's much lighter and more mellow than a lot of whiskies, with notes of honey and vanilla. It’s buttery smooth and balanced, with a nutty undertone. Aged in Oloroso casks and ex-bourbon casks, the whisky is creamy and rich, with notes of apple and espresso on the palate. And for under £30, it’s definitely worth adding to your wish list.
One of the most popular gins around, Plymouth is a decent spirit for you G&T or gimlet, if you want to be a little more fancy. Either way, this will deliver the herbaceous botanicals you'll be seeking out with a smooth finish. Just remember to add some tonic to your cart too.
This is a really complex gin that is our favourite for making martinis with - there's a robustness with this one that we love, and also a depth to its flavour that will really spice up your evening tipple. It's the bartender's gin-of-choice and a sophisticated level up from most things in your cupboard. Once you have it, it will be hard to go back to normal Tanqueray...
Don Julio is a well recognised name across the tequila world, essentially the grandfather of non-shot-consumed-actually-sippable tequila. The Añejo tequila is a level up from your standard Blanco, with a more rounded taste and smoother finish. Whether you want to sip it straight or if you're looking for something to make into delicious, stripped back cocktails, Don Julio Añejo is a great staple that will elevate your evenings.
