Auchentoshan 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Gift Set 

Because Auchentoshan distills away all the impurities in the liquid, strong notes of fruit and citrus come through. It also makes the spirit more prone to the epic woodiness that comes from the casks in maturation. No other Scottish distillery insists on triple distilling every drop. As a result of its production methods, Auchentoshan’s product is sometimes called “the breakfast whisky” due to its sweet and delicate flavor. Our Auchentoshan gift set will surely impress!

• Gold Distillers’ Single Malts 12 years and under – 2020 International Spirits Challenge

McSweeny’s Beef Jerky For A Spirit Tasting

Features:

• Gluten Free
• Proudly Canadian

How To Enjoy Beef Jerky And A Spirit Tasting

While you still have the flavours in your mouth after a sip of liquor, take a nice size bite of the beef jerky to release the smoky beef flavors, and let it add to the flavour. Then as the smoky and beef flavours fade, the beef jerky notes linger. Take another sip of liquor and round it off.

Truffles are a bold flavor, and a little goes a long way. The taste of black truffles is a mixture of chocolaty, nutty and earthy. Scotch pairs well with potato chips and the flavours of black truffle, so we have a fantastic snack that combines both!

These special premium potato chips feature authentic black summer truffles.

Be captivated by the intense woodsy aroma with flavors of garlic, wild mushroom and earthy hazelnut undertones that convert this snack into a real treat for the senses.

Ingredients: Potatoes, sunflower oil, salt, dehydrated black summer truffle (T. aestivum Vitt.) and truffle aroma.

From occasions like birthday gifts to valentines day, this is a great gift!
