Whisky presents

Taste sensations are highly individual!

There are many emotions in flavour and so there is certainly not just one description of taste.

One person likes this, another that. But how do I find the whisky that I like? Simply try it! There are miniatures and small bottles, individually or in a set, so you don't have to decide on a large bottle straight away. Horst Lüning recommends Dalwhinnie, Aberlour and Lagavulin for beginners - but that's his taste!

Eight Scottish single malt whiskies are particularly suitable for beginners or as a gift. They are among the best-selling at Whisky.de. Make sure you clarify whether the person you are giving the gift to likes smoky whiskies! If you don't get a definite 'yes', then please don't give a smoky whisky as a gift.

Balvenie 12J
Comparable is Aberlour 12J
Glenmorangie 10J mild
Mild Auchentoshan 12Y
Glenfiddich 15J well known and good

Lagavulin 16J is very popular, but never give it to a beginner
Ardbeg very smoky but also mild and sweetish
Coal Ila 12J not so well known, rather a surprise

Please note that this is also Horst Lüning's personal selection and the most and best-selling whiskies at Whisky.de. More expensive whisky recommendations can be found in Ben and Horst Lüning's favourite whiskies.

Whisky gift packs are a very nice present. These are often standard bottles worth between 25.00 and 70.00 euros, which are offered in a set with glasses. A gift pack is comparatively inexpensive, has a beautiful presentation and leaves a lasting impression. Enclosed glasses and elaborate packaging are sure to stay in the bar for a long time and remind people of the giver! Horst Lüning presents various gift packs in the video. Please click here (link gift packs) to find out which whiskies are currently in stock. Each gift pack is of course also a lovely gift for personal use.

You will be surprised how many good and well-known whisky bottles in combination with glasses, a pocket bottle or with special outer packaging are hardly more expensive than the whisky bottle alone. Find out more either in the shop under gifts or in the gift finder. Here you can enter the price you would like to spend on a gift.

Whether whisky in a golden tin that looks like an oversized gold bar or whisky glasses with an unusual engraving - there are many unusual accessories for the whisky bottle with which you can give a dear friend a special gift! We have gift packs with a snack tin, with an earthenware mug, with a tin cup.... The best place to find out more is on our large gifts page

In our Whisky.de Awards , Ben and Horst Lüning honour the best whiskies every month.
