Prefer reading? This video is also available as an article on my website
If you’d rather read than watch, I’ve got the full gift guide written up as an article as well. It covers the same practical dos and don’ts—what whisky drinkers actually use, and what we politely pretend to like. It’s basically a shortcut to avoiding awkward ‘shelf gifts’.
You'll be taken to Thewhiskyscribe to complete your purchase.
Pros
- +Quick reference version of the video’s advice
- +Helps avoid common gimmick gifts
Cons
- -Doesn’t replace seeing the full explanations and examples in the video
