Gifts For Newlyweds: Couple Your Wishes With These Premium Spirits
Giving newlyweds a nice bottle of high-quality liquor will never go out of fashion! It's a fool-proof present that will be appreciated, especially if you are aware of their taste in spirits. Check out some of the brands which are known for their top-quality alcohol.
Scotch - Johnnie Walker Black Label
This rich bottle of blended scotch whisky contains the flavours of more than 29 single malts! The best spirits from four distilleries - Lowland (Glenkinchie), Speyside (Cardhu), Islay (Caol Ila) and Highland (Clynelish). This intricate mixture gives Black Label a complex flavour profile with smokiness and deep aroma. Watch out for fragrances of dried fruit and vanilla and taste dark chocolate, peat and beautifully balanced layers of malt. The finish is lengthy, comforting, and fulfilling and lingers on the tongue for a good amount of time. Black Label is a luxurious present that the newlyweds will truly use to celebrate the new phase of their lives.
An alternative to Black Label is Johnnie Walker Blue Label, which is a premium scotch with a rich and complex flavour with a Highland peaty finish.
Liqueur - Baileys Irish Cream
Baileys Irish Cream is created by using premium quality dairy cream, triple-distilled whiskey and fine spirits. It is produced by combining fresh cream, aged whiskey from Ireland's top distilleries, luxurious vanilla pods and rich cocoa beans. This opulent mixture gives the liqueur its exquisite taste and makes it a great base for mixed drinks. It can be had neat, on the rocks and in a cocktail. It is a great liquor to celebrate the beginning of a new journey for the newlyweds.
Vodka - Smirnoff No 21
The perfect neutral spirit that inspires many a cocktail, Smirnoff No 21 Vodka, has a pure taste and smooth texture. It is favoured by top mixologists to make some of the most popular cocktails. The vodka is made triple distilled and filtered ten times to bring out a clean spirit. This top-notch all-purpose spirit is sure to make the newlyweds happy!
Gin: Tanqueray No 10
Tanqueray No 10 is a world-renowned London Dry Gin popular among mixologists and drinkers alike. It is hand-batched by the Master Distiller even today, giving it an artisanal feature. It has citrus notes from lime and orange and fruity notes from juniper and pink grapefruit and heat from white pepper and coriander spice. This complex yet efficiently balanced flavour stays on the palate through the spirit's long, smooth almost creamy finish. No wonder it took distillers years to create Tanqueray No 10! Gift this to the newlyweds if they favour gin and gin-based cocktails.
Tequila - Don Julio 1942
This iconic añejo tequila is distilled from 100% Blue Weber Agave, one of the agave plants that makes high-quality spirits. It has an inviting combination of aromas — a blend of butterscotch, old wood and dried grass. It has a creamy texture with notes of white pepper, mint, cinnamon and caramel. This spirit will enamour any drinker it is presented to and makes for a great gift for the newlyweds.
While it's great to learn about alcohol, it is important to also consume alcohol moderately. Remember to serve and drink responsibly to ensure you and your guests are healthy and out of harm's way. If you know anyone who has trouble controlling their alcohol intake, please refer them to a professional immediately.
