SCOTCH WHISKY
These whiskies were specially created for the House of Lords – don't miss your chance to try these two luxurious drams.
Blended Scotch Whisky
£29.95A soft, fruity blend from Gordon & MacPhail, one of Scotland's oldest and most respected independent whisky bottlers. This whisky is only available to visitors of the Houses of Parliament in London, so this is a rare chance to enjoy a dram reserved for the select few.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE Fresh, inviting aromas of lemon peel, butter shortbread and stem ginger, with a fragrant grassy note.
PALATE Fresh and fruity at first, then richer, malted-biscuit notes arrives, as well as sweet banana bread, toffee and vanilla custard.
FINISH Clean, bright and fruity – very easy to drink.
10 Year Old
Single Malt Whisky
£39.95 This single malt whisky, aged for 10 years, is a classic Speyside dram. Matured in sherry casks, you'll find delicious notes of tropical fruit alongside Christmas spices and a touch of honey for a silky, stylish finish. A rich, complex, whisky that deserves to be savoured.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE Very floral and fruity, with red-berry fruit and cherries sitting alongside classic Speyside notes of freshly cut apple and pear.
PALATE Soft, silky mouthfeel, with a touch of Christmas spice mixed in with aromatic fruitiness – pear, peach and mango. There's a sweet honeyed note, too, along with a sprinkling of clove and black pepper.
FINISH The soft honeyed fruit lingers well with the spice.
