Whisky Gift Vouchers – The Ultimate Gift for Whisky Lovers

Whenever I’m picking up a few things in the supermarket, I can’t help but roll my eyes and tut loudly in that passive-aggressive way that we seem to have mastered down to a fine art here in the UK, when I notice seasonal items plonked on the shelves months before they’re due to become popular. Easter eggs in January? Not on my watch. Halloween items in the summer? Forget it. And as for Christmas trinkets when we’re barely in autumn? Well, you can imagine my thoughts on that. 

Now, at risk of sounding like a hypocrite after that little tirade, for today’s blog I’m going to go against everything I just ranted about because I want to talk about something that would make a fantastic Christmas present for a whisky lover, though in my defence, it can be used at any time during the year. The item in question? A gift voucher, but not any gift voucher, oh no. This is a whisky gift voucher! 

Here are a few reasons why our whisky e-gift vouchers are the ultimate gift for whisky lovers. 

Different Price Options Available

Whisky, as you know, can vary massively in terms of price from bottle to bottle. Whilst most people have their own preferences as far as various drams go, most of us are unfortunately hindered when it comes to price. 

Although it would be great to be able to splash a few hundred on a fine Macallan, most of us have to be careful with our money. That’s why it’s rare for people to spend a lot of money on a whisky for themselves. This is why a whisky gift voucher works so well. 

Our whisky e-gift vouchers come in three different price options, putting you, and the recipient of your voucher in control of how is spent. We offer a £25, £55, and £100 option so there’s something for everyone. 

Whether it’s one of our four pack of limited-edition whiskies (plus change) for just £20, or our incredible £100 20 Year Old Invergordon single cask, single grain Scotch, you’ve plenty of pricing options to choose from. 

No Chance of Buying the Wrong Bottle

Although whisky drinkers would be glad of virtually any bottle of whisky as a gift, there is always the risk of you buying the wrong dram, or a dram that they don’t necessarily enjoy as much as you’d have hoped. 

Listen, I know whisky is valuable stuff, so the last thing you want to do is waste it, but if you wind up buying somebody the wrong whisky, chances are it’ll sit gathering dust for months, even years, or will just not be appreciated like a fine whisky should be. 

Say for example, the recipient of your whisky gift loves a PX sherry cask seasoned dram and isn’t too keen on ex-bourbon American oak matured expressions. If you were to inadvertently buy them a whisky that was exclusively aged in American oak casks, it wouldn’t go down as well as Speyside sherry monster would. 

With whisky e-gift vouchers, though, you don’t need to worry about buying somebody the wrong dram. With a gift voucher, the recipient gets to choose their own whisky, so there’s no chance of buying the wrong one, or the awkwardness that goes with it. 

No Need to Be a Whisky Connoisseur

There’s a common misconception surrounding whisky that in order to enjoy it, you need to be a “mature” gentleman that resides in the Highlands of Scotland, who has been drinking single malt Scotch for more than half a century. This, obviously, is not the case. 

People of any age (legal of course) and gender, from anywhere in the world, can enjoy whisky, regardless of how much experience they have with drinking it. They could have been enjoying it for decades, or they could have tried a wee dram at the pub last night and decided they loved it and wanted to treat themselves to a bottle. 

By gifting somebody a whisky voucher, they’re in charge of the whisky they choose. If they know their drams and know they enjoy, say, smoky drams from Islay, they could quite easily pick themselves an Islay peat monster. On the flipside, they could simply read the tasting notes and flavour profile of a dram, decide it sounds delicious, and use their voucher to purchase a bottle. 

Perfect for Last Minute Gift Ideas

If you’re like me, you’re probably not the most organised of individuals. Don’t get me wrong, in my head I’m the most organised person in the world, but in reality, that’s not exactly the case.

If I’m going away, either on holiday or with work, I always leave my packing until the last minute. Even on special occasions when buying gifts, I leave things a little later than I should. I’m not ashamed to admit that gift vouchers have helped me out of a sticky situation on more than one occasion. 

With whisky e-vouchers, if life has got in the way and you haven’t yet had time to buy someone special in your life a bottle of whisky, you needn’t worry. Our whisky e-gift vouchers can be purchased and emailed to you within seconds. That way, you have a special and meaningful gift that is guaranteed to be appreciated. What could be simpler than that? 

Convenience

It’s all well and good receiving a boatload of whisky bottles for Christmas, or for your birthday, but what do you do if you’re not in the mood to guzzle several litres of whisky over the next couple of weeks? Well, again, this is where whisky e-gift vouchers come into their own. 

Just because you gift somebody a whisky voucher on a specific day, that doesn’t mean they need to rush onto the GreatDrams whisky shop and order a bottle or two right away. Whisky vouchers are valid for several months from the date of purchase so the lucky recipient can choose a whisky as and when they like. Now that’s definitely worth drinking to.  

If you’d like to order a whisky e-gift voucher, learn more about your favourite whiskies, or treat yourself to a dram or two in the process, head on over to GreatDrams.com and take a look at the diverse selection of unique whiskies we currently have in stock.

With an impressive selection of limited-edition, rare, and award-winning whisky, as well as heaps of whisky info on our blog, it’s the perfect spot for all you whisky lovers out there.
