A Scotch Gift of the Month Club is a membership that regularly delivers a full-sized scotch gift bottle (or several) to your door usually monthly or quarterly making it the best scotch gift for any enthusiasts. We also offer a 3-pack option, so you’ll receive three bottles at once—no need to wait! If you’d like even more scotch gift options, check out our Bottle Shop, for one-off bottle purchases, delivered several times throughout the month.

Scotch Whisky is usually bottled at 40% or 43% ABV, but for the cask strength offering, this will jump to 50%-mid 60% ABV, give or take. However, if a Scotch whisky is of considerable age, will often drop in the mid to low 40s due to the environment in which it matured.

We don’t just send you a bottle; we take you on a journey; from the creation of the bottle to the first sip. Each scotch gift bottle is specifically curated for you, so you know you’re not just receiving a random bottle. Our different options help expand your palate and discover what you truly like. Plus, we also help enhance your liquor knowledge with our Digital Tasting Guide, which is packed with unique information about each bottle and expert tasting notes.

Taster’s Club is trusted by large media outlets like Buzzfeed, Esquire, Forbes, and Men’s Journal, as well as thousands of members all over the US, establishing it as one of the best scotch gift subscriptions available.

Scotch is a type of whiskey made in Scotland from grain, malt, or a blend of both, but it’s mostly malted barley. For Scotch to be considered Scotch, it must be aged in oak barrels for three years minimum, though most sit for 12-25 years and even up to 5 decades. It also must have an ABV of at least 40%.

Our Scotch Gift of the Month Club is a great way for beginners to explore different styles of scotch whisky at their own pace. The monthly samples offer a guided tasting experience, helping them learn and appreciate whisky in a structured way.

The name whiskey or whisky is based on the type of cereal grain used in the distilling process as well as how and where it was produced. Generally speaking, it’s spelled “whiskey”—with an e—in the United States and Ireland. It is spelled “whisky”—without the e—in Scotland, Canada, and in several other countries.

This “rule” wasn’t fixed until the 20th century. Up until then, the extra ‘e’ was used inconsistently. It’s believed that during the 19th century, Ireland’s distillers began to use the ‘e’ as a way to differentiate their whiskeys from Scottish whisky. Spelling their spirits differently gave the Irish another way to distinguish between the two. So, in the end, the Irish stuck with the ‘e’; the Scots didn’t. Canada maintained the ‘Scottish’ spelling, while America chose the “whiskey” spelling.

However, just to add an extra layer of complexity, some American-made whiskeys disregard the traditional American spelling. For example, Maker’s Mark adopts the Scottish spelling, as a tribute to the Samuels family’s Scots-Irish ancestors.

Another thing to note is how a whisk(e)y is made. Whisky is distilled twice in Scotland, and whiskey is usually distilled two times in the United States. In Ireland, however, whiskey is usually distilled three times.

There are five different types of Scotch, including three blends that make up about 90% of the Scotch bottles sold each year.

• Single malt Scotch is made from water and malted barley only, with a pot still distillation batch process, at a single distillery.
• Single grain Scotch is made from water, malted barley, and whole grains or malted or unmalted cereals at a single distillery.
• A combination of at least one single malt Scotch with at least one single grain Scotch is known as blended Scotch.
• Blended malt Scotch is a combination of at least two single malt Scotches from different distilleries.
• A combination of at least two blended single grain Scotches from at least two distilleries is called blended grain Scotch.
