Todays Drop of the Day is a little off-piste in that it's not just one drop, but a dozen: Drinks by the Dram's gift set of 12 award winning whiskies in individual tasting-size bottles... 

This article was created in partnership with Proof & Company New Zealand

The idea for the pack all started with the question: “wouldn’t it be great if you could try a whisky without having to shell out on a full-sized bottle?” With this in mind, Drinks by the Dram took bottles and divided them up into little samples, all of which are wax-dipped and handsomely labelled. The magnificent gift set is filled with 12 of the very finest whiskies known to humankind from sublime single malts to award-winning blended malt whisky.

This pack allows you to explore whiskies from across the world in twelve different handmade 30ml wax-sealed drams. The award-winning whiskies from famous distilleries includes everything from rich single malts to single grain. Here's what you'll find in the pack:

• Caol Ila 12YO
• Wolfburn Aurora Single Malt
• Teeling Small Batch
• Starward Solera
• Buffalo Trace
• Mackinlays Shackleton Blended Malt
• Glenfiddich 15-Year-Old Solera
• Copper Dog
• The Dubliner Irish Whiskey
• Tullamore D.E.W. 14-Year-Old Single Malt
• Benchmark Bourbon Old Number 8
• Balvenie Double Wood 12-Year-Old

 The Drinks By The Dram 12 Days Gift Pack is also available in rum, gin and a variety of other sets. Available locally at independent retailers and online at Fine Wine Delivery.

We don't know about you but we can see ourselves sipping the evening away with a taster of whisky and a cheeseboard selection of toasty, salty crackers like these Parmesan, Rosemary and Caraway Seed Biscuits. Surely we can count this as educational.
