Our Whiskies of the Month for December 2018 have been chosen, and our team of whisky elves have been busy coming up with some great Christmas song-themed whisky puns to go with them!
Take a look below, and let us know if you can do better in the comments!
All of these whiskies are available by the dram in Amber Restaurant and Whisky Bar, and by the bottle in our onsite and online whisky shop (UK delivery only).
Pssst – the last posting date for 2018 is 19th December for delivery before Christmas!

Luxury Scotch
AnCnoc-ing around the Christmas tree, at the Christmas party hop
We’d be happy to find a bottle of AnCnoc 24 year old anywhere near the Christmas tree this winter. Paired with Brenda Lee’s Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree. Perfect.
Let us know which ones you’ve tried, and if you can do better by naming some cracking whisky and Christmas song puns!
Have a great festive season, everyone!
