Christmas Gift Guide 2021
Good tidings and perfect gifts from the team at The Review Magazine.
Scents of Style
It’s the final adornment before an evening well-lived. Finding a signature scent amongst the abundance of musky, floral, citrus or even woodsy notes is a time-honoured tradition amongst the many perfume counters and white-glove perfumeries across Europe.
Ashling Park Gin
Notes of candied lemon, delicate undertones of soft apples and pears and softer notes of honey and floral chamomile.
Secret Speyside
Longmorn, Caperdonich, Glen Keith, Braes of Glenlivet, four artisan producers from some of Speyside’s revered distilleries. Perhaps if the family had been sporting a measure from the Secret Speyside collection, I might have come into the fold a little sooner.

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel
Chosen for its individual taste, both smooth and aromatic, by the company’s master distiller and his team of master tasters, Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel is the perfect standby drink this festive period. The barrels selected for this version come from the top floors of the barrelhouses that punctuate the hills around the JD distillery. The intense temperature extremes that the barrels are exposed to throughout the year result in a bold and robust yield of whiskey. Highly unusual and utter moreish. Full-bodied with notes of vanilla, toasted oak and caramel, this bottle’s intense flavour profile is equalled by a long, deep finish. And because each barrel is unique, so is…
