Top drops for the spirit, beer or wine lover in your life. By Sam Wylie-Harris.
From limited-edition gift packs and bijoux bottlings, to special celebratory wines and A-list champagne, these luxe libations will bring more than a twinkle to their eye this Christmas...
1. JJ Whitley Blue Raspberry Russian Vodka, £15 (70cl), Sainsbury's
This regal looking Russian vodka will blow away the winter blues. Ripe raspberry notes interplay with juicy blueberries, and it can be sipped neat over ice or mixed in a fabulously fruity blue cocktail. Chin-chin!
2. Martin Miller's Winterful Flavoured Gin, £27.95 (70cl), Amazon
Christmas spice and all things nice. Think warm and complex flavours of cinnamon and mandarin peel, topped with tonic and stick of cinnamon to garnish.
3. Merry Christmas Bordeaux Duo Gift, £30, Laithwaites
Two classy clarets to put the cheer into Chrimbo. A 2017 vintage Wine Advocate praised as being 'all about finesse, perfume and aromatic intensity' and a 2018 medal winner, both in their drinking window.
4. Pub In A Box - Beer, Glass, Snacks, Music Quiz, Beer Mat & Exclusive Playlists, £30, Signature Brew
Their very own local, without having to leave home to get a round in.
5. Champagne Bollinger Special Cuvee 007 Limited Edition, £46.95, EW Wines
Star-studded sparkler... Brilliant bubbles for Bond fans and anyone with a taste for the high life.
6. Bloom Gin Gift Pack with London Dry Gin and a Cocktail Making Set, £59 (70cl), Amazon
With a rose gold hammered cocktail shaker, jigger and cocktail barspoon, this looks bloomin' marvellous.
7. Tiempo Tequila Reposado Cristalino Batch 1, £54.99 (70cl), House of Malt
Call the shots... from Jalisco, with love. Perfect for sipping neat or in a cocktail.
8. Avalon Beers Variety Box, £55, Avalon Beers
Best British brews... 12 beers, all styles, from an exciting new craft beer subscription company, and can be gifted with the option of a personalised message on box.
9. The Wine Society Vegan Case of 6, £56, The Wine Society
Enhance those plant-based Christmas recipes with a vegan-friendly vino, featuring top drops from France, Italy, Australia and California.
10. Maison Mirabeau Limited Edition Petit Dry Rose Gin And Twilly, £65, Maison Mirabeau
Provencal pink gin paired with a designer silk twilly inspired by the French Riviera. Tres chic.
11. Don Papa Limited Edition Port Cask, £70, Master of Malt (available late November)
Proving the Philippines is a go-to for premium rum, this one's aged for two years in ex-bourbon casks, then aged for an additional five years in port casks. The result? A dark, spicy rum with lingering fruitiness and warmth.
12. Dom Perignon Rose 2006 Lady Gaga Special Edition, £315, 31 Clos
Not only is Lady Gaga gracing the front cover of December's Vogue, she's fraternising with the most famous - and fashionable - fizz in the world. Chin-chin!
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
