THE FESTIVE SEASON IS A TIME FOR GIVING, OF SHARING LOVE, FRIENDSHIP AND JOY – ALONG WITH A FEELING OF GOODWILL TO YOUR FELLOW MAN. BE THEY CORPORATE OR PERSONAL, HERE ARE A FEW CHEERS IDEAS FOR MAKING 2017 A PARTICULARLY MERRY SEASON!

GLEN GRANT 10 YO A Scottish dram with an intriguing history, filled with tales of illicit distilling and smuggling... Glen Grant has been legit for years and its signature 10 year old is “a relaxed confident malt from a distillery that makes great whisky.” – Jim Murray BAINS GIFT SET WITH TWO WHISKY GLASSES Proudly South African – and sporting a brand new look – is Bain’s Cape Mountain whisky. Made from grain rather than barley, Bain’s new streamlined label pays tribute to the rugged Cape mountains – and the leopard which roam free – which are the inspiration for the local award-winning spirit.

JOHNNIE WALKER TOM DIXON BLUE LABEL BOTTLE WITH TWO WHISKY GLASSES The limited edition Tom Dixon-designed Johnnie Walker Blue Label was launched at the 2017 Milan Design Week and is available in selected markets worldwide.

JOHNNIE WALKER RED, JOHNNIE WALKER BLACK & JOHNNIE WALKER DOUBLE BLACK The festive season would lack the right kind of ... spirit without a bit of the famous Striding Man. Johnnie Walker gift packs come in a range of different options. There’s Red with a chalice glass, Black and Double Black with two tumblers each and the newly reintroduced Green with two tumblers.

GLEN GRANT: THE MAJOR’S RESERVE LIMITED EDITION WITH 2 WHISKY GLASSES A tribute to James Grant – the Major – who was a key figure in the growth of Glen Grant whisky worldwide. A light, approachable spirit which appeals to a broad audience.

LIMITED EDITION XO ICE SET Hennessy Cognac is one of the world’s greatest brands. Part of the renowned Moët Hennessy empire, this famous name accounts for 40% of all the distilled brandy spirit made in the Cognac region of France. This festive season there are two very special additions to the range – the limited edition XO Ice set or the spectacular XO Mark Newson.

HENNESSY DOUBLE GLASS GIFT BOX Furthermore there is VS either in presentation box or with a glass, along with VSOP and a double glass gift box.

HENNESSY XO MARC NEWSON Industrial designer Newson is best known for his work on Apple’s innovative products. He pared down Hennessy’s signature bottle and created tactile striations on the decanter. “Straight lines seemed to me a more modern interpretation of what already existed, to me, the stripes really emphasize the strength of the decanter’s shape. When they catch the light, they highlight both the bottle and the contents, making the whole feel warmer and more tactile.” – Mark Newson.

KWV 10 YEAR PLUS GLASSES KWV brandy is a South African favourite. It’s also a consistent award winner, locally and internationally. The 10 year old is deliciously mature with its signature apricot and fruit notes beautifully balanced by its decade in oak barrel. Smooth and rewarding.

KWV BUG CARDS GIFTPACK As friends and family gather, often there is a fun drinking game or two that is likely to happen. Bug introduces a card-based game called Bugger – which includes unique cards such as the attack, debug, steal or view the future features.
