Our 3 favourite Luxury Christmas Tipples in 2017

Perhaps you’re looking for a little something boozy for someone special or maybe just looking to stock up the drinks cabinet in time for this year’s festivities.

Here are three premium, unique tipples that are guaranteed to get the party started…

Gentleman Jack (£30) – The double mellowed, twice as smooth whiskey from the makers of Jack Daniel’s.

Gentleman Jack mellows through sugar maple charcoal, not once, but twice, giving some full-bodied liquid rich with flavours of vanilla, maple syrup and citrus. The balanced flavouring leaves a deliciously smooth finish on the tongue, which can be cherished with every sip.

Old Forester (£30) – brings a rich taste and believe it or not, is the only bourbon to be bottled before, during and after Prohibition. It has top notes of orange blossom and cedar, which soon develops the classic rye bread warmth and a lingering waft of buttered pancakes. It offers a hint of caramel and maple syrup, yum!

 

The Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12 Year Old rum (£35) – produced on the Appleton Estate in the lush Nassau Valley in Jamaica, the rare, golden rums that make up Rare Blend are hand-selected, and have all been aged for a minimum of 12 years. The long years of tropical ageing give it its rich mahogany hue, confident woody character, and smooth robust taste – all of which make a bold statement of extraordinary quality.
