Whisky gift sets

A whisky gift set here is a full-size bottle, from 50cl to 1 litre, sold in a gift box, tin or tube, or packed with glasses. A bottle is listed only when its pack details mark it as a gift pack, never from a word in its name, so Tomatin and Compass Box bottles do not turn up here by accident. Tasting sets of 3cl samples are on whisky samples, and packs of 5cl bottles are on whisky miniatures.

The whisky in a gift pack is usually the standard bottling with packaging added, but not always, so compare the age, strength and size on each bottle page with the plain bottle. For gift ideas by budget and by what the recipient drinks, see whisky gifts. Prices are the best current offers from the UK retailers we check (how we compare prices).

Is the whisky in a gift pack the same as the standard bottle?
Usually the whisky is the same: the age, strength and size match the standard bottle, and the pack adds a box, tin or tube and sometimes glasses. Glen Scotia 12 Year Old is a 12-year-old Campbeltown single malt at 46% ABV in 70cl with or without its gift pack, which also holds two branded glasses. Not always, though. Clynelish 14 Year Old in the Flora and Fauna presentation box is 43% ABV, while the standard Clynelish 14 Year Old is 46%, so compare the label facts on both bottle pages.
What is the difference between a gift set and a tasting set?
A gift set holds a full-size bottle, usually 70cl. A tasting set holds several 3cl samples, so a 6 x 3cl set comes to 18cl, about a quarter of a 70cl bottle. A miniature pack holds 5cl bottles, such as 3 x 5cl. Tasting sets are on whisky samples and miniature packs on whisky miniatures.
Does a gift tin or tube change the whisky?
No. A tin, tube or box is outer packaging: the whisky is matured in cask and bottled before it is packed, and it does not mature further in the bottle. Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Gold Tin is a 12-year-old Highland single malt at 40% ABV, the same age and strength as the plain Aberfeldy 12 Year Old.
