In Partnership with Drinks by the Dram
Drinks by the Dram have unveiled the perfect gift for the whisky enthusiasts in your life – The 12 Days of Whisky! This journey of discovery entails a specially-curated dozen of deliciousness featuring some of the finest whiskies known to man—from single malts to single grains, blended malts and more. We’re talking award-winning names like Starward, Buffalo Trace and Glenfiddich to name a few.
Drinks by the Dram started with the question: “wouldn’t it be great if you could try a new whisky without having to fork out on a full-sized bottle?” With this in mind, the team took bottles of the best spirits and divided them up into smaller samples, all of which are wax-dipped and handsomely labelled.
With a range that exceeds 5,000 spirits, the 12 Days series is also available in Gin and Rum perfect for a dad who’s not into whisky. – AU$100

Fyrian Single Malt Candle
Candles may not be the most traditionally masculine of items, but Fyrian wants to change that with its single malt candle.

But we’re here right now because of the gorgeous Goldfinger character Jill Masterton, played by Shirley Eaton. Jill may not be as memorable as the film’s other leading lady Pussy Galore, but we all remember Jill’s death. She was the one smothered in gold paint.
