A timeless dram if there ever was one, Glenmorangie The Original 10 Years Old is guaranteed to please the whisky lover in your life. It’s crafted using local water and grain, distilled in Scotland’s tallest stills, and aged in ex-bourbon casks to render a truly distinctive flavour profile. Every sip delivers an impeccable balance between sweet and floral notes over a deliciously nutty backbone with subtle citrus accents. That gives way to a creamy finish of orange and peach, the kind that most whiskies aspire to but rarely achieve.
Whether sipped neat, on the rocks, or in a spirit-forward cocktail, Glenmorangie’s flagship single malt goes down like warm silk but nevertheless offers copious complexity. At its core is a recipe so dependable that the distillery uses it as the base for pretty much its entire range. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, as the saying goes, and this award-winning juice duly abides. We might also add that it’s quite affordable compared to other single malts of its calibre. Now if you don’t mind, we’re about to go pick up a bottle for ourselves!
Things to Consider for Last-Minute Gifts
When it comes to last-minute gift ideas, simply wrapping a bow on a new wallet isn’t quite enough (although we’d all love that). In fact, if you want to get the special occasion right, there are a few things you need to consider:
- Price: Perhaps the most obvious consideration, the price will inevitably play a factor in your purchasing decision. While you may want to splash out for a significant birthday or gifting event, more often than not, you’ll be aiming around the $50-$100 mark for most gifts. In the fitness world, however, gifts don’t exactly come cheap. To get the most out of your gift idea, don’t be afraid to shop around for the best price.
- Shipping: If you do select one of the last-minute gifts on this list, consider the shipping time for your retailer of choice. There is no point snagging a great last-minute gift if it won’t arrive in time.
Alternatives to Last-Minute Gifts
If you are looking for something a little more specific, we’ve got you covered. Outside of the last-minute releases, we’ve collated our favourite releases across a number of different categories. So, no matter what that special someone in your life is keen on, you’ll find it here.
