There is a particular kind of person who, presented with a glass of single malt, can tell you about the distillery, the cask, the region, and quite possibly the weather on the day it was bottled.
Dave Worthington is that person. He also happens to be one of the most respected whisky educators in the country – Global Brand Ambassador for independent bottler That Boutique-y Whisky Company, and the man behind Drinks by the Dram’s most ambitious creation yet: The Whisky Library.
Priced at £195, The Whisky Library is a beautifully constructed bookshelf containing 36 wax-sealed 30ml drams across six specialist volumes, each packed with Worthington’s authoritative writing on the history, craft and character of the world’s great whiskies – and we’re giving you the chance to win one.
The six volumes take you on a journey through the world’s great whisky traditions: Scotch Whisky Regions, Single Malt Whisky, Japanese Whisky, Irish Whiskey, Bourbon and American Whiskey, and Sherry-Cask. Each book contains six carefully selected drams to taste as you read, moving from the titans of the Old World to the dynamic expressions of the New.
A seventh volume houses a pair of Glencairn crystal tasting glasses, because no one should be pouring good whisky into the wrong vessel – certainly not on Dave Worthington’s watch.
The 36 drams have been selected to educate and excite in equal measure, with highlights including Lagavulin 16 Year Old, one of Islay’s great smoky benchmarks; Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength, a richly spiced Irish pot still whiskey with serious persuasive powers; and Yoichi Single Malt, the whisky that helped announce Japan as a global force.
For Drinks by the Dram, The Whisky Library builds on its reputation for expertly curated discovery sets and award-winning Advent Calendars. This magnificent ‘Dramthology’ is designed for everyone from the curious whisky drinker to the seasoned connoisseur looking to deepen their knowledge one glass at a time.
