Didn't get Victoria Whisky fest tickets this year? Don't despair, there are any number of whisky gift sets available this year so that you can hold your own mini whisky festival.
One of the best that we have seen is the new Glenmorangie Gift set, featuring four different 100ml bottles, and retailing for $60.
The Glenmorangie Gift set features the Ten Year Old, the Lasanta, the Quinta Ruban and the Nectar D'or.
Since 1843, Glenmorangie distillery has been producing its famous malt on the shores of the Dornoch Firth. Though the complex of buildings has seen many changes over the years, Glenmorangie is still handcrafted to this day by the Sixteen Men of Tain using tried and tested methods that have been passed down from generation to generation.
Glenmorangie Ten Year Old
It has been called ‘the perfect ten’ and most Glenmorangie drinkers will readily drink to that! After 10 years in ex-Bourbon casks, the Glenmorangie spirit has had enough time to mature and mellow into a beautifully balanced yet marvellously complex malt whisky. Aromas are light and delicate, floral with traces of citrus and vanilla, with a light smokiness, too. The flavours are beautifully balanced, with honeyed nuts coming through.
Glenmorangie Lasanta
Glenmorangie Lasanta is an elegant and full-bodied single malt whisky that has been extra matured in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks after a minimum of 10 years in ex-bourbon casks. Its luscious, soft mouth filling texture, and its deep, enticing, sweet aroma appeals to luxury spirit drinkers who like to experiment, and whose confident choices, warmth and passion inspire the mood of the group. Non chill-filtered and with an ABV of 46%, its key flavour notes are of toffee, raisins and walnuts.
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban is a velvety-textured single malt whisky, for confident, colourful, dynamic luxury spirit drinkers who like to take the lead.
A mature Glenmorangie that is transferred from the original ex-bourbon cask and then extra matured or ‘finished’ in port pipes, shipped from the ‘Quintas’ or wine estates of Portugal. Maturation in ruby port pipes develops The Quinta Ruban into a voluptuously smooth spirit with a complex balance of sweet and dry flavours that engage the entire palate and envelope it in a intriguing balance of smooth velvet and crisp, cooling textures.
With an ABV of 46%, its dominant tastes are rich, chocolaty and minty.

Glenmorangie Nectar D'or
A captivating single malt whisky for the sophisticated luxury spirits drinker who enjoys delicious extravagance and sensual pleasures. With a tremendous 'gourmand' appeal, The Nectar D'or is Glenmorangie's delicious, complex base spirit, that after a minimum of 10 years in ex-bourbon casks, is then extra matured in specialty hand selected Sauternes wine barriques. This makes it rich and sumptuous with a heady, luscious, beguiling spectrum of aromatic patisserie desserts that helps create a memorable occasion whenever it is enjoyed. 'Or" means gold in both Gaelic and French while of course 'Nectar' is the drink of the Gods. Non chill-filtered and with an ABV of 46%, its key flavour notes are lemony, sumptuous and syrupy.
