1974 The Whisky Trail, Invergordon, Small Batch, 52-Year-Old, Highland, Single Grain Scotch Whisky (42.9%)

In my time, I have sampled a fair number of fabulous products, but few have surprised and delighted me more against my expectations than this. A must for every festive celebration, treat yourself to this premium cream liqueur this Christmas. There may be better-known whiskey-based liqueurs, but there are none that I enjoy more than this stunning example from Cotswolds Distillery. This is a wonderful treat, whether as an apéritif in a glass over ice or in a coffee after dinner. Berry Bros. & Rudd
