In the final instalment of our festive tasting series, the 2005 Own Selection Orkney Scotch whisky takes the limelight. Rob Whitehead, our Spirits Buyer, tells us the story behind this winter-friendly whisky and explains why it’s such a wonderful match for festive fare.

In the third video of our festive tasting series, we turn the spotlight on the 1977 Dow’s Port. Having been aged for over four decades, it would make an indulgent festive treat. In this short video, Fergus Stewart delves a little deeper.

In the second video of our festive tasting series, Katie Merry from our Buying team takes a closer look at the 2008 Remelluri Reserva. She explains why this beautifully mature Rioja is a delicious accompaniment to any Yuletide feast.

With Christmas quickly approaching, the question of “what to drink?” becomes more pertinent. Our experts in the Buying team have plenty of festive inspiration to offer. In this short tasting video, Elle Macleod talks us through the 2018 Louis Boillot, Volnay, Les Angles and shares a few of her top food-matching tips.
