Drinks by the Dram Regions of Scotland Whisky Tasting Set 5 x 30 mL
Five individually sealed samples move across contrasting Scotch traditions, from peaty and maritime to fruity, malty, floral and honeyed. The compact format makes it possible to compare aroma, texture and finish side by side without committing to full bottles. Expect smoke, orchard fruit, soft flowers, malt and cask spice to emerge in different proportions across the selection.
