The Good Housekeeping Institute panel - made up of WSET-qualified experts and whisky drinkers - tried 21 whiskies neat, before adding water to dilute and soften the alcohol and bring out the core flavours.
You'll find a mix of Scottish single malts, Irish Whiskey (which is spelt with an 'e') and Japanese whisky gifts below, all of which have been tested by our expert team. And with gifts starting at just £13.49, there's something for every budget too. For the aficionados out there, we'd recommend opting for a set with various ages or expressions, for them to broaden their knowledge. However we think these sets go one step further, with an array of extras, including the likes of branded glasses, hip flasks and more.
A straight up bottle of whisky will always be well-received.
