Celebrate Bonfire Night with Our November Whisky Tasting Gift Set

There’s something magical about early November. The chill in the air, the crackle of fireworks, the scent of smoke drifting from glowing bonfires, it’s a night filled with tradition, warmth, and community. This Bonfire Night, we’ve captured the spirit of the season in our exclusive November Whisky Tasting Gift Set, featuring three whiskies with bold, smoky flavour profiles that echo the essence of the fire itself.

The Allure of Peaty Whiskies

When whisky lovers talk about “smokiness,” they’re often referring to the influence of peat. Peat is a type of soil, rich in organic material, that has been used in Scotland for centuries as a fuel source. In whisky making, peat is burned to dry malted barley, infusing the grain with a distinctive smoky aroma and flavour. The more peat used, the more powerful the whisky’s smoky punch.

But peat isn’t the only factor. The smokiness in whisky can also be shaped by:

• Cask ageing: Whiskies matured in charred oak barrels can pick up smoky, toasty notes.

• Distillation methods: The shape of the still and the distiller’s techniques influence how intense and lingering the smoke becomes.

• Regional influences: Coastal distilleries often create whiskies with a maritime smokiness, sometimes carrying hints of seaweed or brine.

  
  

Together, these elements give each dram a unique fire-kissed character, perfect for sipping on a crisp November night.

Bonfire Night Traditions

Bonfire Night, or Guy Fawkes Night, is celebrated every year on the 5th of November to mark the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Across the UK, people gather around blazing bonfires, set off fireworks, and enjoy warming seasonal treats. From toffee apples and parkin to mulled drinks, the evening is about indulgence and togetherness.

This whisky set was designed with that same spirit in mind: sharing great drams, celebrating tradition, and enjoying the glow of good company.

What’s Inside the November Gift Set?

Our curated due & trio of whiskies showcases the bonfire flavour profile at its finest:

• A highland dram bringing smoke and sea spray.

• A rich, woodsmoke depth, layered with sweet spice from the Isle of Mull

• Finally a Speyside that balances embers of smoke with smooth, warming maltiness.

  
  

Accompanied by tasting notes and scorecard, this gift set is ideal for both seasoned whisky drinkers and those just beginning their smoky whisky journey.
