From smoky single malts to ready-to-pour cocktails, Islay distillery Bruichladdich has a range of Christmas gift ideas for whisky enthusiasts and cocktail fans alike.
The certified B Corp makes its whiskies using 100% Scottish barley, without chill-filtering or added colouring, and publishes information about what goes into every bottle.
This festive season, its signature whiskies sit alongside a canned cocktail range created with bartender-founded brand Whitebox, offering options for everything from stocking fillers to Christmas party drinks.
Ready-to-pour cocktails
Designed to take the work out of mixing drinks at home, the cocktails come in boxes of four 100ml cans, priced at £20 per box. Simply chill and pour, whether serving guests or settling in for a festive night at home.
The Bruichladdich Whisky Sour is a sharp, citrusy take on the classic, built around the distillery’s whisky. For those who prefer a smoky edge, the Port Charlotte Penicillin uses its peated Port Charlotte malt in a twist on the modern cocktail favourite.
Gin drinkers have two options made with The Botanist. The White Negroni offers a lighter, bittersweet twist on the traditional serve, while the Dry Martini combines the gin with a touch of dry vermouth for a crisp, spirit-forward cocktail. Serve the latter well chilled with olives.
