Gift set

A whisky gift set is a multi-part gift package that typically includes at least one bottle of whisky and often accessories or informational material, making it suitable as a gift for a whisky enthusiast or beginner.

Structure and content

Typical components can be divided into the following groups: - Bottle: The central part of the set. Often a full bottle size (about 0.7 liters), but some sets also include smaller samples (5 cl or 2 x 20 cl) for tasting. - Glassware and serving accessories: One or more whisky glasses (typical types are tumbler and tulip-shaped). Accessories may also include a stopper or lid as well as a small measuring cup or a short serving guide. - Tasting notes and information: A folder or card with tasting notes, country of origin, age, and suggestions for food pairings. - Tasting samples: Some sets include small bottles (5 cl) of related whiskies for further exploration. - Packaging and presentation: The set may come in a decorative cardboard box, a wooden or metal box, or a combination, often with printing and ribbon.
